About to hit 10k miles. Thinking it may be time for an ECU reset.

At 10k miles it's my though that the engine and trans are broken in and I'm driving the car like I normally would. So I'm thinking it may be time for an ECU reset. What are your opinions?

I don't really see the point. The ECU doesn't learn for a short period and then ignore further input, the only time I'd reset the ECU is if you have made a sudden/dramatic change like installed an intake or something like that.

No need.

Resetting ECU is not equal to a tune.
