Re-Program after Upgrades

I recently upgraded the following on my 8:

1) Revi intake Kit including cold air nose port
2) OBX Header
3) SR High Flow Cat
4) Racing BEat Exhaust

I only drove the car for 2 weeks before putting it up for the winter.
I hope to be getting it back on the road sometime in April...weather permitting.

What recommendations are there for after installing those parts?
What changes to the computer or anything else should I do to get the most out of the car?

Thanks!

Since those are bolt ons you won't have to do anything to the computer. I hope your starting the car every week?

Not necessary - just let the ECU do its thing and make the necessary compensations ....

Is ther ea benefit to letting the ECU correct itself or resetting it manually?
On that note...what is the process for resetting it?

As for the header...I'm not sure yet...not expecting much especially with what I read. I read like 1-2 HP...and I read for a true racing header...you only see ~5hp.....but that's just what I could find online. The install is a pain though...you have to grind down a ton...but if you compare it to the original you will see why. However it looks a ton better!...not going ot lie...the original is kinda ugly.
