Default Reset stock ECU?

Okay, I have a stock '94 GSR. I've come up w/ a very interesting intake setup for the track that makes it completely ram-air, w/ no restricition (don't use it on the street, I know), and was wondering... Because of the wildly increased flow over stock, should I reset my ECU just as a precaution, so I don't run lean? And, can I do this just by disconnecting the fuse, waiting ten minutes, plugging the fuse back in, and letting the car idle for a while? Thanks.

An intake wont throw your car off that much, not matter how wildy increased the flow is. Reset the ECU if it makes you feel better, it wont hurt anything. And only pull the fuse for 10 seconds, not 10 mintes.

Ram Air is bad, unless your an engineer. It creates a pressure zone, causing air to go around intake...trust me.

how do you reset the ecu?
Pull back-up fuse in the fuse box under the hood. Wait 5-10 seconds. Plug back in. Start car with EVERYTHING off. Let idle for 5-10 minutes. Turn car off. ECU is reset.

Is this the same procedure with a non-stock ECU (Erick's racing)?
