Default Reflash computer or not

I installed a K&N cold air Air Cleaner assembly & need to know if I drop the battery negative for a minute, will this help the computer to relearn the air flow change ? If this does not help it to get the best performance for the change, then what should I do to get the best results ? Please give me some direction. thanks

If you've got $500 to spend then an Uprev tune will make a big difference

Get a tune after you're done with all your mods - will save you the cost of a retune.

http://www.uprev.com - locate a dealer. Will cost you about $525 to $650, including the cost of the license and initial tuning time. After that, re-tunes are based upon an hourly rate (generally $150 to $200). Since you're down in FL, look at S&R, ZFever and Z1Motorsports (GA).

Resetting the ECM is probably a good idea to try to get the fuel ratios back in check. Tune (reflash) would be ideal if you want more power of course.
