Just go - it will learn the difference in about 50 miles. I varied my RPMs while I did it with a WOT here and there. :thumbs:

Sorry - the ultimate thrill (when done in safe environment) - wide open throttle - so the brain gets to see all the variables.

Personally, I would do the idle relearn process. Yeah you don't really have to since over time the car will self adjust, but I'm just picky about my car. The PCM is a little different in the 97-99 cars and the relearn takes a series of additional steps. With that in mind I'd rather do the relearn upfront instead of having to wait some determinate amount of time before it adjusts.

I had mine put on in Bowling Green at the Cruise In. I didn't do anything but drive it home & have had no problems with it at all. :steering:

I just put mine on and started driving. Checked with my tuner first and that's what he recommended.

Re: Blackwing Question (Korreck)

I had no problems when I installed it on my 97. Just put it on and went. When put the car up for sale I put the old Air Cleaner back on the car but a month later the purchaser wanted to buy the Blackwing so I put it back on. No problem going either way.
