pertronix issues

happy new year folks,
question for anyone running an ignitor 2. i installed my kit per instructions, gapped it, etc, but now my car feels sedated. its starts and runs but just a little worse. with points my cold start was sharp within a few cranks with the pertronix it's a harder start, little grumpy, and my performance has dulled. at high revs the thing sputters. i'm temped to go back to points, but i thought id check in here for anything y'all might be able to point out. going to try jumping the ballast today to see if thats it. if not i may have this thing for sale.
