the geekz0r (11:04:16 PM): so 2nd pulls like 1st in the 5speed, 3rd is like 2nd, etc.
PortugeeTex (11:04:26 PM): so whats 1st like then?
the geekz0r (11:04:49 PM): 1st is like hitting a cheeta in the ass with a tazer
PortugeeTex (11:04:53 PM): lmfao

You can reset it if you want, or you can wait until the ECU learns the new curve.

does unhooking the battery do anything? i was just wondering 'cause people told me to do that after i put my intake in... i have no idea if it actually did anything... (seeing as how we forgot to plug the map sensor thing-a-ma-bob back in, and didn't notice it until a few days later... )

Removing the negative batt cable for a few minutes will reset the ECU.

1) Warm up car
2) Turn all accessories off
3) Shut off car
4) Pull batt cable
5) Reconnet cable
6) Start car w/o hitting the gas or anything
7) Let it idle for a little bit
8) Go driving

That's how I heard to do it, but all the little details might not matter that much.
