Default quick question about tuning-

How long does it take generally for the computer make adjustments for changes?

I just finished the H&S RR's, Hughes Plenum Kit, and 180* stat.. I went ahead and flushed the cooling system changed oil/filter, plus wires/plugs/cap/rotor..

Everything is back together as it should be, and there are no leaks. She is running sluggish.. but no codes have popped up as of yet. I kinda figured the computer needed some time to make adjustments, but I've no idea how long that is going to take.. thoughts?

If you haven't or can't do a prescribed "OBD-II Drive Cycle" it can take as long as 200 miles or so after resetting the PCM for it to get fully aware and accustomed to the new reality.

wow..

I ordered a SCT from Hughes (shoulda went through hemifever I've since learned) and it isn't here yet.. It should be this week.. it's going to be interesting to see which happens first- the self adjust, or the tuner... huh..

Anywhere from 20-200 miles but normally 20-30.

the self adjust will not get near where the tuner will get you.
