Default HELP!!

I have a 96 cobra SVT 61K miles. I recently put Autolite AP104 (platinum) plugs in her, along with new plug wires. The wires are Standard #6928. After the change, she idles at 900rpm, and just doesn't turn up the same. I'm thinking I should have left her alone. I may have a bad connection, but I did check by pulling plugs off while she was running, everything seemed fine. Can you help?

Okay, so the Standard brand is $23 bucks, Motorcraft, where my heart is, $42 bucks. Should I save money or go with my heart. Money is tight. Thanks
