TPIS INSTALL SHOULD COMPUTER BE REPROGAMED?

I am installing TPIS headers on my Z..I have Donaldson, and the screen is removed..I have heard there is only 6-7 HP in the Computer when it is re-programmed..My question, is should the computer be programmed with these mods, and if so, what HP and TQ gains would i realize?? Would there be more
with these mods??ZZZZZZZ

db -- I'm having my TPIS long-tubes installed AS I WRITE (weeeeeeeeeee! :D), and I've been told that the computer need not be reprogrammed. Rather, the battery will be disconnected during the install, and the computer will re-learn my driving style (read: re-learn all of it parameters) on it's own afterward.

I, too, have the Blackwing on my car. I'm not sure what the HP gains should/will be, but I understand them to be substantial. ;)

The first mods on my car were DRM headers, Donaldson, and Corsas. With no computer changes it ran flawlessly. No lean codes, just POWER! :yesnod: Your computer should be fine. Reprogram it if you do heads and cam like Tony said. Soon enough you'll want more hp, we all do. :seeya

Thanks for theinput.I am also planning on going to ARE in Toronto, as i live a couple hours from there and have heard good things about them.Planning on a stage 2 head and cam package, from what i have heard, about 410 RWHP from this.. I was seriously thinking of an 02, but, not much sence if your going with the head cam package. Due for late September, cant wait ZZZZZZ
