I read up on the sticky thread about resetting the ecu. I reset it last night and felt HUGE gains in power, and shifting. The only mod I have done is a ztube and pop charger. How come after installing the intake I didn't feel as much as I felt after I rested the ECU?

 

Do you mean after you "reset" the ECU? My thought is you increased the air flow into the engine and the ECU was still performing as it did with the restricted flow. By resetting the computer, it now reads the new volume of air and mixes in the appropriate anount of fuel for optimum performance. I have a K & N drop-in and a ztube and I saw a significant difference in performance after resetting the ECU. There are a bunch of threads on this procedure wth a lot of good information, and a lot of speculation on exactly what haapens when you do this. No matter, I'm glad I did it because my butt dyno never lies. My baby feels reborn.


Welcome to the board from another noob. I've been on here a lot lately and learned a sh**load about my new car.
