I guess i'll just wait.

With my f-body, it seems like it was a matter of pulling some fuses. Didn't know if it was the same for my Z06.

Tuning the PCM with a program such as LS1edit can make a substantial difference in the car's performance, especially if you have aftermarket speed parts added.

That I know, and thats planned, but not till CIA, LT's, and X pipe are installed.

I know i found a tech article on my z28 about pulling some fuses or something and resetting the PCM though.

You are just clearing the fuel trims by removing power from the PCM. Reflashing is something completely different.

Hopefully someone will post which fuses to pull, or you can simply disconnect the battery for a short time.

Yes, cause doesn't it kinda "relearn" the fuel trims? I think this might be why i think my car is a "slow z06"
