Yeah, your idle was WAY too high at launch, especially if it's an automatic. Our convertors flash at @ 1600-1700 RPM. By launching higher than that you are working against the convertor and it will result in slower ET's and trans trouble (just ask Redog about that).

Lower your front tire pressure a little (28 psi) and launch - regardless of manual or auto trans - at around 1400. Much more consistent launches and qicker ET's.

Your car could also be slower because of all of the mileage on the car. If it's all casual highway miles it'll wear differently (and more slowly) than hard driving in and around town. Plus keep all excess weight out of the car (60 CD's and a 10-CD changer in the trunk or massive speakers in the back, will add serious weight which slows cars down).
