Default maft translator question

I had superchips tune my car but their dyno was broke so I took it to norse motorsports and put it on the dyno and the motor was running too lean so mike put the translator on it and set it 8% rich to counter the leanness. My question is I took the superchips tuning off will that also reset the translator back to stock.

I don't really understand what the heck has happened to your car but the translator has internal switches inside that must be turned to change anything.

I was told by a tech that when I put my stock program back in my computer that the computer will recalibrate itself.

If you had a different program, you might want to go get it redynoed to make sure your A/F is still OK. It would depend on what the aftermarket program changed to start with. How the hell did they tune your car w/o a dyno?
