You went faster because of your confidence along with your new setup. Good for you! That said, you are still limited by your time and understanding of proper driving. Your new found confidence can also lead to tragedy (I really hope not) as many drivers that experience what you have end up in a scenario where they run out of talent because they think they are better than they are. The thing you have to keep in mind is the faster you go the greater the consequences when things go bad. As Clint Eastwood famously said, "A man has to know his limitations!"
