Default Truck feels fast

I recently bought a 01 silverado with a 4.8. Seller told me it just had a flow master exhaust. I just recently added a k&n intake. The truck felt fast before the intake. Is there anything else that the truck could have? I hear no lope so I don't think it could be a cam. Made a quick vid of what I'm talking about. Truck only has 120k miles and has been babied and well taken care of.

I spin under 40mph. My tires aren't bald so I don't know what to do. Didn't think I would need nitto tires with just an exhaust and intake.

Hmm. Can you get a video that shows the tach and speedometer at the same time?

Judging by how fast the speedo moves I'm kinda suspicious that it may be calibrated for larger tires.
