Matt, soon you will be in the 12's with a 8PSI Super Charger or high 11's.
I talked to Chuck (he got his inform from Tony) and he said, remove the
negative ground from the battery and wait minimal of 30 seconds. Then click
the key three times to the right. Reattached the cable and drive it for
short distance (it took within 20 minutes) and the computer adjusted itself.
However, I was not impressed when the computer did the adjustment. I going
to reinstall the DC air intake and readjust to the old default map. Then
reapply the Air Raid again.
I would expect a 1/10-2/10 seconds drop from your time. Are you going out
the rear or dual side exhaust? Did you change the water thermo unit?

Steve, I never did reset the computer after I put my homemade intake on, its
been atleast 8K miles ago. I wonder if I should try the reset??
Did you just disconnect the battery or is there a reset switch under the
dash???
I'm installing my flowmaster system this evening, and then reset the
computer.
Saturday I'm going back to the track, determined to go 14.3's!!!!! Slicks,
Exhaust & Intake!!!!

Subject: DML: Air Raid & Resetting the Truck CPU
After installing the new Air Raid intake, I noticed that there was an
increase of RPM, bottom end HP with more noise than ever from the engine
bay. Sounded like a full blown HEMI 426. But it was more mild from 4500 to
5700 range. Last night I reset the computer on the truck and found that it
adjusted everything from bottom to top end RPM range. More of a balance
throughout the RPM range of the engine. Hmm! Maybe this was not a good to
reset the computer and went for the lower range boost. Tonight I will reset
the old air intake and again balance the engine computer to read the normal
parameters. Wait one day and put on the Air Raid again. I figure I need
the bottom end boost versus the top end. The Super Charger will take care
of the top boost anyway.
I will be ordering a 3" ceramic coated tube for the cold air induction to
the front and a smooth 90 degree ceramic tube running into the throttle
body.
The moral of this story, if you what a low end boost after installing a
aftermarket product don't adjust your engine computer.
Chris & Matt, I look at the air hat and I believe you are right, just
remove it and go for the S tube version straight to the throttle body.
