How does the car feel to drive generally after the new cam ?

I threw an auto wade 2 in my tired manual EF, didn't dial it in or anything and a few weeks later ran a 14.8. Single spinner diff, launch at about 2000 rpm with a touch of wheelspin/chirp and not flat changing. I never ran it before the cam/extractors but that's about a 1 second improvement over stock times.

I assume if you did 15 runs you can rule out being a s**t driver (or atleast one would hope) icon_smile.gif
Was it a hotter day or something ? You have a big lunch just before hand ? icon_razz.gif
