Here ya go.....

" VaraRam suggests around a 45 minute drive at speeds above 55mph to get the PCM to re-program itself for the extra air. Alternatively, about three passes at the strip. This intake yields EXCELLENT RESULTS! "

And there you have it !

I installed mine and pounded the crap out of the car for the first...

,,,well I always do...no issues.

Cleaning the filter depends a lot on where you live and what type of driving conditions you drive in. I check my filters every two oil changes and go from there...

Peace

It will take a few miles of driving for the computer to adjust to the new air flow. 50-100 miles should do the trick.
