swaping out an ecu should kill the memory, but if not just undo the battery.

Unplugging the ecu is all that needs to be done to clear it. I have changed chips at the track with only shutting the car off and the launch rpm would change but I believe blake had observed that the fuel may not instantly be changed even in open loop unless the ecu is cleared.

I was concerned about maybe blowing a fuse or something if thebatery was connected.
