You probably shouldn't recaliberate your "computer" then. I didn't and I didn't notice any loss in torque. I seriously don't see you losing low end by allowing a little bit more air to get into your engine. I didn't lose any gas mileage either. I think you screwed up your PCM.
How did I screw up the Computer?

Without resetting it, How is the Computer supposed to know the difference then? The first time I took it out without clearing the Computer's ram, at WOT it would shift 400 rpm's too soon. This was quickly alleviated by Disconnecting the battery for a few min, thus clearing the ram.

I seriously dont see why I would lie about this, so many times. Think about it.

You are "loosing" power? Good God, how did you get out of Elementry school?

I switched from the k&n fipk to the mopar air hat and felt a shift from mid/hi to low/mid.

viper; who gives a s**t about spelling, come on man.

When you reset the PCM, it starts out running on the rich side, which will kill MPG and give you more power.

I have noticed this every time I reset the PCM regardless of what air cleaner I run.

I would imagine that if you went from the Mopar airhat to the stock airhat without a reset, the same thing would happen as the parameters of the PCM are still learned from a higher flow air cleaner and stuffing it up with the old airhat is basically causing it to run rich again.

It should then lean itself out to a new lower flow of air and increase MPG. Regardless, I believe it takes my truck about 200 miles or so to relearn a PCM reset. I notice worse mileage until that point.
