All I can say is that last night before leaving work I did the ECU reset and the AT gimmick.

The car felt a little sluggish, but it ran a bit better--as if the idle/timing adjusted. Anyway, it sat for about an hour and I drove it less than a mile to my gym and home--felt nothing.

This morning I came to work a bit later. Not a lot of traffic and I was able to open up the car. Well, holy shi+! It's like 80 degrees and 90% humidity today--8 degrees warmer and 30 % more humidity than yesterday, and the car is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. It feels much quicker. It's easily breaking loose the tires and further, the AT manumatic shift from 1/2 and 2/3 are much 'snappier' than before.

If you've seen my other post as of late with my header install and questions about problems, after doing the reset, I am not questioning anymore. I'll redyno the car in another week or two when I have time. I can feel in my seat gains that I haven't felt before, though it took driving the car a bit. I guess the ECU learned what I was doing post reset and factored in the mods. I can also say the odd noise like stuff I was hearing is gone and the car does sound--and seem--to be running smoother. Lastly, my idle was around 750-800 rpms before reset--now about 900, and doesn't feel as lopey. Go fiigure...

even the service manual (for the g35 anyways) says it doesn't reset everything (whereas the battery method does)

another question, if i get my 350 dyno tuned eventually, will the tuning let the car gain more hp and tq with the CAI still in (more hp than tuning would give me with a pop charger) or will it supposedly still give me more by changing the CAI to a pop charger and tuning like that?
