The best thing about going to a track
The best thing about going to a track is that for the next few days of driving around town the car feels like it wants to snap your neck on shifts and just seems to be ready to launch at a moments notice. I'm guessing this is a symptom of the PCM learning all day that you want 0-100 runs. Eventually the car relearns the town driving and it settles down. Anyone else notice this?

The PCM is the Powertrain Control Module. Its what drives the engine in the Series II engines. It has the ability to adapt to your driving conditions. INTENSE PCMs and DHPs are what we use to enhance our performance. Similar to "chips" for the series I guys.

I'll let you know how my new PCM reacts afterwards. I did notice that some with the stocker after a long track day, but maybe for you it just the new CAM power you've got and your just not used to it yet. Cause once you are, it'll need something else.
Me though I like the atmosphere and the smell of burnt rubber.
