No, I would say you're fine. The ecu in these cars learns EXTREMELY fast. Resetting the ECU between intake configurations is probably not even necessary. We did it because that is the preferred testing manner for consistency. In fact, the most important reason for us resetting the ECU between runs was to reset the Ignition Advance Multiplier if there were knock events on the previous dyno pulls.

We're definitely not trying to scare anyone away from their drop in filters, that is absolutely not what we're implying. I wouldn't be worried at all.
