If it has never been reset since you have done mods then it may help a very lil. Just disconnect the battery and hold down the brake pedal for a minute. The car may actually run worse for awhile untill it adjusts to your new set-up. I wouldn't expect anything noticable; maybe 1-2 MPG increase.

Uh, resetting is only necessary for 89-92 (S5) vehicles, because the 86-88 ECU is too dumb to remember anything imho.
