Are you running with the traction control disabled? Believe it or not, but the traction control can slow you down considerably. The way it achieves traction control is by modulating the rear brakes, ever so quickly. This saps to-the-ground horsepower like you wouldn't believe. So if you aren't running with the traction control disabled, give it a try.

The M-7398 kit won't work in your '02. Your car is equipped with the AODE transmission, not the AOD. You'll need to get the gear set from a 4R70W to get the same wide ratios provided by the 7398 kit.
