when you do test pipes, do you have to "flash" the computer or do anything in particular to realize any gains? If so please explain....thanks!!

nope i didnt have to flash the ecu to realize gains, the ecu is a learning computer which means if you flash it he'll adopt the same way as if you dont flash it, yeah the test pipes showed a 13 whp gain at 105 degrees, i'll post the dynosheet before and after as soon as my friend scans it for me..well im also running injen cold air and borla TD
