Default STI 330s ECU reset

Got my new car and it has been run on regular unleaded I reckon since new done 1600 miles.
I have put a tank of Optimax in it and not really driven it hard yet but feel its backin itself off a little at the top end of the rev range.
I would like to reset the ecu easiest way is??
Cheers.

Dealer only or off a laptop unfortunately
It should learn pretty quickly though when you put super in there

I think I`ll get some more "harder" miles on it first it is still very new and tight.
Get that super juice through it ;-))))

Thought about disconnecting the battery but it seems the car is armed a little like a tank and will probably explode!! LOL

Stick some octane booster in, give it a birthday present !

LOL

P.S. Most std. cars "back off" nearer the rev limit, that's why JGM is so popular

You shouldn't need octane booster.......the ECU should soon re-set the IAM higher
