Sounds like you have plenty of power on tap and nothing to complain about.

My auto with Warpspeed y-pipe, test pipe, GReddy Evo catback, Frankencar intake, and Nitto 555 235-45-17's will spin the tires if i floor it between 15-20 mph. From a dead stop i can spin the tires, get traction while squealing them up to about 3500 rpm, car takes off, and then they will start squealing again from 5000 rpm until the shift to second.
