The car probably still hasn't adjusted to the new air flow. The idle relearn will help as well as driving it quite a bit.

Do the computers on our cars adjust to mods like this on their own?

Seems like the link that Jhonathan provided should do the fix for you. I was actually just looking online right now to maybe buy one myself. Do you have any other mods? I have a 04Z06 with an exhaust and was wondering if it's worth to spend the money for it with no other upgrades.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?

A VaraRam is on one the least expensive means to gain HorsePower.
There have been a number of sales lately by forum vendors....

As previously stated give it some miles, I think I put on about 40 after install and no problems afterwards.
