What does that have to do with a compression test?

If the car runs fine, what is the problem? Don't go looking for trouble, it will find you.

Normally, yes. But if it really is running ok, I wouldn't question it. Something about a gift horse in the mouth.

Why were you pulling the plug wires? Did you have a reason to suspect something was wrong?

Have you tried tuning the distributor and fuel pressure? Whenever I take my car into to get tuned, that's what my mechanic does and it feels so much faster.
