I thought it was just me, but I had about the same thing occur.
I installed the intake and drove for three weeks before getting around to
resetting the computer. By that time is was feeling real good. Then I
reset
and it was like crap, as expected, for a few days. It got better, but I
swear
it reached the level of the pre-reset. I was hoping that I'd at least get a
mileage gain from the reset since performance was suffering. Haven't
checked
on that yet.
