Fipk installed - lost power
I installed the k&n fipk this morning and just got around to taking the car out for a spin. It seems that when I hit vtec, the car doesn't pull as it used to with the stock airbox. Is there something I need to reset something to get the computer to readjust? Or am I just retarded?
I'm running bone stock with the exception of the fipk

Let the ECU learn; I never ran a FIPK, but I do have a CAI and the power was felt immediately. Best mod i've done, along with a single exhaust; moreover my gas mileage has gone up significantly after installing an aftermarket intake system.

Vtec engagement may feel less powerful as the car maybe making more power now with the FIPK before engagement, therefore the engagement doesn't feel as abrupt. Hows the intake sound BTW?
