Default Do I need to reprogram car with power loader?

I removed the air cleaner today. I reinstalled the cleaner everything went fine, but car seems to be a little slower now. Maybe the heat today very hot in florida. I thought maybe because I disconnected the MAF sensor I might have to reprogram the car with the PLII. Any thoughts on why it might feel slower or am I just crazy :crazy:

I tighten all the hose clamps before I reinstalled it. I would think if it had leaks it would throw a code through the computer. Does that sound right?

No damage to the Maf wires if there was I would think diffently code would come up. It maybe just the heat today it was 90 degrees. My coolant temp was around 196 and oil temp was around 212. Do those numbers sound right.

Also I added cold air screens to the car a few days ago it seemed to help around 50 miles an hour. Could it be hurting now with the hot temp outside or could it maybe have leaned the car out because of more air in the blackwing.

Yes Your Crazy. Joking............... It is most likely the heat. I live in Texas and was just saying theh last few days as it was 90 here, how much power the heat robs from your car. When it was cool out side my car is so much more responsive and when it is hot, it just doesn't seem to run as quickly or as smoothly as when th air is cooler and less humid.
