sixlitre started, ecu learn question

waiting on a few parts, reading the forums I remember coming across someone saying to gap the plugs wide first, drive for a week then bump the timing ahead, so the computer has time to "learn".

Since i'm doing a timing chain water pump Ect, is this really necessary? Are the mods really too much for the computer to take in at once?

No, not necessary.. Keep in mind that timing bump for the 6l tuneup is within Ford's margin of error (+/- 2degrees).
