Ecu Warning!!

As some of you know I have the Renntech Headers & Ecu upgrade. O.K here is the WARNING!. Well, the problem starts with doing the KEY reset. My car was running at 100% kick azz mode, shifting at 7300 rpm, fast fast fast through out the whole power band. Never felt it better So as we do from time to time, we do the key reset to get back that factory response. Looks like my ecu is pissed off shifting at 6500 cutting out at 6500 just running like crap. I am hoping that it will remap after some miles. When I first did the Renntech Ecu upgrade the car did the same then came to life after a day of driving. I will update. SO DO NOT DO THE KEY RESET if you have a ecu upgrade. any input would be great

Do you have to re-map the ECU now?
Or will the car re-learn?

Take that car to a track once back to normal!

good luck
