Stock Computer after CAI install

I just installed a CAI, ADM scoop, and a windshield washer relocate kit that I bought from APEX. The install went smooth with no problems. When I was done I took my car for a spin and WOW what a difference. It seemed to run a lot smoother and faster. My question is "will my stock computer take away from the performance of the additional air flow of the CAI and scoop"

I would like to say APEX has super fast shipping, I placed my order on Friday evening and received it on Wednesday.

I'm confused. If anything you will gain a little more power after the computer relearns itself and recognizes more airflow

I am glad to hear you are enjoying your new upgrade. Thank you for your order. Your ECM will not take any of your added performance away.

A good CAI actually get more air to your engine. It isn't tricking your PCM to THINK it's seeing something it isn't. Since it's seeing an actual increase in airflow, your gains are REAL gains, therefore are permenant.
