I'm digging through the service manual and can't find a hint. But I will keep looking.

James, you have a '97 right? From what I've heard the OBDII computers
adjust much faster than the non OBDII. Sean said his results for his
mods were almost instant. I know on mine though every mod I've done has
taken a few days to get settled.... When the Flowmaster was first put
on, performance was less than stock for the drive home, then things
started to pick back up. I'm kinda wondering if the SBEC (non
OBDII)goes by the number of key on sequences before making changes,
instead of adjusting while the engine is running? Anyone know?
