Default Mods question

So I was wondering, Bare with me new to this stuff. So with the mods I have (cai, 1/2" intake spacer, 2.5" borla catback) should I be worried about running a little lean? I ask because I installed my intake spacer last week. Yesterday getting on the car it seemed as though it was starving for fuel. Maybe not Im assuming. But it had this studder when I got on it. It almost seemed as though the traction control was kicking in, but I had it off and the green light wasn't illuminating. Any insight you could give would be great. Thanks

EDIT:
Forgot to mention it was running great later in the night. When I got to have my first little race. Blew away an 06 civic si. He did this little ricer flyby on the interstate and I was hoping he was getting off of the exit I was he did. Got to the light off the interstate. Green he goes (Im starting in the rear)I get out in pass lane and blow right past him. Gives me a friendly honk as I go up my street I live in. It was fun. First kill. All in all probably a 2 car spread win. car back to start won by at least a car spread.

Those mods should not make you run lean, the MAF, O2's and ECU can make up for little mods like that. I would check for a vacume leak or a disconnected line, make sure everything you touched is tight and on right.
