How long does a relearn take? It does it on its own?

If it seems slower it may be but I am pretty sure it does not go though a relearn process. Mine has the same thing done and i could not really say its any faster but sure does sound bad ****.

Yea, the relearn may be the wrong term, but the data used by the PCM has undoubtedly changed a bit. I imagine it'll just make corrections as you drive, but I can't imagine it's actually slower... Is it a "feel" thing, or spedo?

Feel I can floor it and it'll take about 20 seconds to get to 30
