Default Does Resetting ECU helps?

Hi, just wondering I was driving like a grandmom during my break in period (shoulda floor it), now when I accelerate it doesn't launch fast enough maybe this is the way it is) If I reset the ECU and floor my car will it be better? btw I got an IS 250 AWD and got 3.4k miles on it

I don't think there is any problem. There is no memory effect even it was driven in granny mode.

I'm in the exact same situation. The car just doesnt zoom anymore (too much grandma driving I think) ~4000 miles.
I'm saving the ecu reset for 5000 miles, just so I can really notice it if there is indeed a change.
