Default does this work?

hey i wondering if any of you do this, if it really works and it increases HP? i copied pasted it below and theres a link to it


- After installing a new bolt-on performance part, let the car warm up between 5 and 10 minutes, then turn it off. Find the Back Up fuse (7.5 amps) in the underhood fuse box and remove it for 5 minutes. Replace the fuse, and start the car and let it idle for a few minutes without touching the gas pedal. Turn off the car, restart it, and bone out! This tip, which only works on Honda and other cars with speed-density fuel injection, resets the ECU and allows it to "re-learn" the engine with the new modification in place. Good for a few extra horsepower. (Also works well when racing at a different elevation than usual.)

OBD2 EUC will trim your fule map a bit every time you drive the car. It's going to make adustments and "learn" rather you reset the ECU or not over time. Resetting the ECU may or may not make it learn the new mods faster. It could actually take longer, but it will not hurt to reset it and it will learn either way over time.

I have heard that about OBD2 ECU's but I also read recently that it is actually not true. So I dunno if it is or is not. No one seems to be able to prove it either way.
