I know i have seen this in a post before, but before I do it I want to know
that I am doing it right, how do you reset the PCM?

I think it's possible, but it's probably more your imagination playing with
you in this case (how's that for a non-committal answer?).
Did you reset the PCM when you swapped the filters? That could
have an impact.
I'm basing my first response on what I've heard about TBs. I know that
with some of the aftermarket "performance" TBs out there (Fastman, F&B,
Mopar, etc.), if you make the bores too large, you'll lose low-end power.
Obviously, the air filter won't have this large of an effect, but I suppose
it's possible.
