Default Lean codes after CAI install

Just installed a Callaway Honker on my '04 six speed coupe. Only have driven around town a bit. The lean trim bank codes one and two, 171H and 174H have popped up several times. Is this possibly a normal circumstance until the computer relearns about getting more of the cool Phoenix air, only 102F right now. Or do I need to plan on having some diagnostic work done. Engine runs smooth not missing a beat and shows a considerable difference in the get up and go dept.
Thank you.
Chas

Do you have any other work done to your car ?
Long Tube headers ?

Getting a tune from a tuner is a good idea if your car thinks its running lean.
A tuner can dial in your Air-Fuel ratio to where it should be for engine safety and maximum power output too.

Check to make sure all the clamps are tight between the MAF and TB

Sounds like that Honker is pulling a lot of air.

If I were you I would contact a tuner to have them check out the codes, and maybe even have them tune to set your Air-Fuel ratio's.
