You should reset your ECU.

To do this disconnect the negative cable on the battery for about 5mins and then start the car and let it idle for about 5mins.

Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

it's even easier than that...pull out the backup fuse (7.5) out of the fuse box under the hood for 10 seconds. boom, done.

?????????????????????WTF?????????????????????????? ??

Just pull the fuse for 10 secs. I must say, I have never seen proof that resetting the ECU does anything. Back to back dyno runs would be nice, but I think I know what the result would be.

It's just like extra grounding wires. If it was needed, you will notice it. If not then you won't......
