Need a Spot

So I just got my project truck back from doing a number of things to it. Head job, o2 sensors, new(used) throttle body, a/t speed sensors, fuel filter/pcv, sparks/wires, injector service, and more.

Having never driven a 3.0 prior to buying this one (it was dead when i bought it), I guess i'm a bit surprised at it's sluggy acceleration, but I've read EVERYWHERE, that this is the "3.slow", etc. To top it off, its A/T, which I've also read here makes it even "slower"....

I guess my question is, HOW slow is expected? Seems like it really takes a while for it to get to 60 mph. Just wondering if there's maybe something my mechanic or I missed or didn't clean, etc?
