Default Popcharger and ECU reset...

Do you guys think it would be better if I reset the ECU after installing the popcharger? This might prevent the stallings that we've all read about, but I dont know. If so, what is the best way of reset the ECU, by disconnecting the battery, or by following the procedures on this site: http://www.technosquareinc.com/350reset.htm

Or is reseting the ECU straight up pointless?

Let me know what you guys think, thanks

I installed my popcharger thinkin that it would reset itself. I didnt notice any difference until I installed a spacer plate also. I reset my ECU with the procedure and I felt a difference. It never installed.

thats cool, but did you reset your ECU? Cuz I know an intake isnt gonna pull too hard either way, but I just wanna do things right so I dont run into problems later on down the road.
