although the BBK says no tune required, it is not unheard of to still get a CEL
system too lean means you're getting too much air and not enough fuel, you need to get a tune for it. or may be a vacuum leak, but my guess is you need to get a tune.
sometimes those no tune required CAI will still give you a CEL, sometimes they wont, its just a roll of the dice.

like I said, I took care of mine with the canned performance tune until I bought the custom tune. I'm not going to lie and tell you 100% it would fix it, but if it is all hooked up right, I would put like 90% on it.

Get a tune. The BBK CAI is a joke without it. Can't afford it now? Put it on your list as the next mod. Trust me, you want it tuned.

Well here is an update...I went back and forth with BBK Tech support, sent him pics, video, borrow a freinds scanner and the tech finally said its not going to work because I did everything possible to get it from throw the too lean code. I then went to the customer rep at BBK and work with her on a resolution. She was wonderful. She contacted AM and worked it out with them to get me a tuner. I still had to pay for it but she made it less painful. Thumbs up to BBK and AM for their customer service. I can't wait to get the tuner this week and see what it can do. Thanks to all of you for your helpful opinions. I will update once the tune is installed.
