    i'd recommend resetting the ECU after any mechanical mod

    I'd say yes. Do a hard reset, or one that clears everything. You'll have to reset the FM presets if you have a factory stereo but it's worth it to ensure the ECU does the best it can.

    ...IMO

    It never hurts to reset your ECU after any mod.

    i doubt u need a hard reset... just disconnect the battery, step on the brake pedal for 5 seconds and reconnect the battery

    since the ECU is adaptive, it learns to run as well as it can with the current setup... if u change something then it could run wierd... if u reset, it starts somewhat conservative and tries to converge to the best state for that setup...

    obviously the adaptability is limited, hence after a set of mods, u need a tune
