how many miles is on it? my SOHC with a r/t trans will run to about 6000 in 4th & 5th goes to 110 then the speed limiter kills it & thats all that heap of **** has

plain champion plugs, check the fuel pressure howbout air filter? dont tell me you have the same old paper one from 4 years ago in it... thats a good place to look
