I ran sum 13.3-13.4's before the disconnect

after a bunch of 13.6 and one 13.5
FWIW, don't do a disconnect if it's running good.

so i have a lot of mods that are dependent on the tune... (lol TB and CMDPs!) and while before my tuner uploaded my dyno parameters to my handheld (id recommend having them do this for you guys, so if it gets sluggish, just retune yourself!) but this last time they didnt (since i got the TB and CMDPs =[) recently i've driven really conservativly (shifting before 2000 etc) so would disconnecting the battery for like 30 mins be ok, or would that risk putting me in safe mode?

Disconnecting the battery only removes the adaptive learning data(incl. max speed, max rpm, and # of times the rev limiter was hit) that's been stored in the ECU's KAM(keep alive memory). It should not alter or lose your car's tune.

made about 5 more passes( temp ,wind etc were all about the same)
the last 5 passes were 1-2 tenths slower

Resetting the ecu FTL!
You basically just reset the adaptive learning back to the
factory defaults (bad).
You really should have followed the adaptive learning relearling procedure
before making those last 5 passes.
The engine was basically limping on the factory defaults.
No wonder the times were slower.
Were you expecting them to be faster why?

You misunderstood my meaning => If the car is running similar to how it ran under the same conditions previously, then don't mess with anything.
