Question Resetting ECU with Piggyback

I'm thinking of resetting my ecu to get a little better low end response from the engine. I currently have a Vortech with the SS box. Is it ok to reset to ECU? I am thinking it should be OK because the SS box takes over the ECU fuel and timing anyways when in boost. Do you guys think I will get any power out of an ECU reset? I have never reset it.

it will absolutely be OK! but make sure you dont always reset it, because the computer in the chip can get slower and slower if you always reset the ECU computer chip. and yes, you will get more power when you reset the ECU. basically ECU is your driving habit. after you reset it make sure you drive hard with your car..

peace

If you did get any power, it'd be back to wherever it is now in about 100-200 miles or so.

If you want to fix your tune, then get it fixed, don't reset the ECU for fun
