Does resetting the ecu add more horsepower to the rear wheels?

SHould reset ecu when you made any changes to your engine setup (intake, sparkplug, etc.)

it may, but I doubt it. reset just makes car more responsive on light to medium throttle. I don't think it affects WOT.

it won't "add" more power to it, but it reset the driving habits, so if you drive like a mad man after reseting the ecu, the car is more responsive, etc... the power stays the same
