'99 V6 sluggish starts

My '99 V6 seems to run fine, especially in higher RPM's, but is a bit sluggish off the line. I've seen posts about folks smoking the tires, so for a test I turned off the TCS, put the auto tranny in Sport mode, and punched it. Nope, no wheel spin at all. Is that possibly normal? FYI, it has 91k miles, blows no smoke, was recently checked by the dealer after a CEL which resulted in a MAF sensor replacement- everything else tested fine. Just passed PA state emissions test. Car runs no better or worse than when I bought it 20k miles ago. Just wondering if maybe there's a common low-end pwr issue. Wondering if I could have a cat problem, or should try that hi flow air cleaner/intake. FYI I've done all scheduled maintenance on it so it has recent oil changes, tranny fluid, air cleaner, & fuel filter. When my wife tells me my car has no go off the line, I know I might have a problem. And my '04 Ford Explorer should not be quicker from a stop, but it sure seems to be. In summary, no real complaint, just wondering if I should be getting more performance. Thanks. -Jim '99 3.0 wagon
