Maybe your car isn't tired, get a dyno and see where you really stand. Butt dynos are not definitive.

I had my MAF changed a few months ago (engine cut off at idle) and it felt like I had a brand new car. The car had about 112,000 miles at the time when I changed it. I've never seen such a big difference in engine performance before. It still surprises me today.
