Need some advice

I think my goat is running rich.
The person that owned it before me cut off the Rez but left the stock mufflers on it.
I was getting fairly good MPG for what you can expect out of a muscle car.

I put a drop in K&N in and my MPG's seem to have fallin a little bit.
I haven't had time to really accurate numbers, so it could just be in my head.
The throttle response seems to be much quicker.

I still have 2 years of factory warrenty so I can't get it tuned.

Would it help if I pulled off the negitive battery cable and left it off for a few minutes letting the CPU reset?

A tune nullifies your factory warranty? Are you sure about that?...

I have a Superchips programmer and already had the goat programmed when I installed a throttle body spacer and cai intake which recommended disconecting the battery during installation. My question was do i lose my program and have to re-flash the computer? Well, i was told that I did not have to. Days later I did a re-program anyway to raise the speed limiter along with the superchips performance progam and everything was fine..meaning the after having the battery disconnected for a little while it did not change anything with the programming, so I dont imagine that would do any good by unplugging the battery unless you have error codes or something of that nature.

The guy from the dealership said that tuning or flashing the car would void the warrenty.

I don't have any error codes, it runs perfect accept for seeming like a drop in MPG's.
