You can reset the computer manually. This will also make the car "re-learn" it's settings. Rule of thumb is, whenever you add mods to the car, like an intake or exhaust for example, you're supposed to reset the computer so that it can recognize this decrease in back pressure, and at the same time, give you the added benefits of the components. You must break in your motor properly. Failure to do so can cause the seals not to seat properly, causing potential oil leaks and such. Drive it like you stole it from the dealership sounds like something an A-hole would do. It sounds like someone leased the car, and does not care about the longevity of the vehicle and it's main components. It's downright irresponsible. Take care of the Viper just as if you paid for it and plan on keeping it for a long time.

Is this the thread you are referring to?
Engine break-in?
It seems that the comupter learns driving habits. What about mechanical wear, parts seating etc... during the first 500 miles with more aggressive break-in?
Won't the computer reset itself once a more aggressive style of driving is adopted after following the manufactures recommended break-in procedure?
Why does DC as well as other manufactures outline just about the same recommended breakin procedure for new vehicles?
Thanks,
John
