Reflash relearning?

Since my reflash I have felt that my car ain't what it was...until today. I noticed that is has regained it's beastiness and is spinning tires with a lot more ease now. Awhile back I stated that in my daily travels I couldn't hit the speeds at certain points along the way that it used to could.

Today coming home I tied my record and under perfect circumstances would have smoked it. This was despite being 100F outside. I hit 131mph in a long straight before having to brake for a 90 degree curve. I put the brakes on 50feet before I did previously (traffic) so I know that the performnance is close to the preflash level.

It seems that the beast has learned how to do it again.

BTW a close friend, another motorhead, is getting an E63 soon and he has agreed to dragging with videos. More later.
