Default Did the Gotts Mod - is this normal?

I did the Gott's Mod last night and left the battery disconnected until today. I took it for a drive tonight after work and initially it hesitated when pressing the gas from a stop. It was acting like it was starved for fuel but then it smoothed out and appears to be fine. In fact, feels to have more power than before.

Just curious - normal?

I woulld guess so, but I'm not sure. Probably just the computer resetting itself

I did the mod last week and I noticed a little more power and it definitely runs better on top end. I didn't disconnect the battery, it's a good practice but there really wasn't a need to disconnect it. I'm going to say it was probably just the computer. Neither the mod nor disconnecting the battery should cause a problem, but vehicles are funny occasionally. As long as it's running fine now, I wouldn't worry about it.

yes, the computer needs to reset or re-learn after the battery has been disconnected . It usually takes one warm up cycle or about ten minutes of driving.
