How quickly does the PCM adjust after rocker install?

I swapped the PCM to ZZP'* a few days ago and it seemed to run fine then, so pretty sure that is not it.
You'll be bouncing alternately between overly lean / overly rich for awhile, so drive like a grandma for at least a few days to a week. ONLY AFTER a couple hundred miles and some definite improvements in the way the car runs should you even consider gunning it.
Do you have a scantool? If not, beg, borrow, or buy one, 'cause without it you'll be blind. As others have said, scan for KR and LTFT and STFT and O2. Also scan rpm, TP%, MAP, MAF, IAT and IPW.
Silly question perhaps, but did you tell zzp about your 1.95 rockers when you ordered the PCM? (In other words, is that PCM tuned to the rockers?)

Hmm, when i went to the track it was the day after i did the rocker install. I wonder if there would be a difference in times now the pcm has learned them. Maybe not but it is nice to think there maybe an increase at the track haha

LTFT'* and STFT'* will tell us whether the PCM is even able to adjust fuel trims enough for that mod (likely it is, but certainly worth checking)...that will be dependent on how far off the programmed VE table is from reality; if fuel trims are maxing out at a large negative number, that'* not good.
IPW (injector pulse width) will tell if the injectors can handle the added fuel flow.
