Default Dead battery, a benefit??

Today I had a dead battery (don't ask :) ) After charging the battery and driving the Vette it seems to be running better than before. Is this possible? Could a reset on the ECM actually be a benefit? Just curious, any educated answers?? :)

Aloha,
Larry

Sounds like a reset computer. :) It could have run its primary adjustments on a humid day or something last time, and perhaps today was better and you're getting better fuel curves.

My car had just figured out the cam-shaft I have, when my battery died. :( Now it has to learn it all over again. :(
