Feeling sluggish

I understand the TL isnt a race car or anything, but to me my car is being sluggish. I have a bone stock engine, sitting on 18s and 1 12 in the trunk. I know its holding me down, weight wise, but the power I had before aint there. What could be my 0-60 now? and on top of that, you think the mods ( I/E/H/P ) will cut a second off the 0-60? Thanks alot!

What should I look for to change at 73K?

clean your TB and run some seafoam thru your PCV valve and change your air filter and then some gumout regane complete fuel system cleaner and then your engine will be real clean and running top notch.

if you are seafoaming for the first time then yes change your plugs, but if you do as regular maintenance you don't as there will not be enough carbon buildup to foul your plugs. it is really just a little deeper cleaning than running fuel system cleaner. I seafoam my car everything 3-5k miles and my car loves it and no spark plug issues. Plugs look brand new still actually. I pulled one out a few weeks ago to check them and the one I pulled was clean as a whistle.

Try searching on Seafoam, wither here on AZ or on the Internet. Some people think it's next best thing to installing a brand new engine.
