Acceleration??

Sorry to be a pest but I have another question. My 380se seems awfully slow to accelerate. It runs smooth but takes a while to get going. The tranny shifts way too early sometimes. I'm in 4th gear before 30mph under light throttle. I know the 3.8 is not very powerful but this one seems "really" slow. I've seen a couple of other posts where owners of 380's talk about fast acceleration. What am I missing? Just completed tuneup, idle is smooth but high at 1500. New idle control unit coming. What else could be causing the lack of power???
