nope, just drive it around until it adjusts.

Otherwise, did you re-connect everything again? MAF, any other sensor you might have disco?

What type of CAI is it?

if you unplugged the battery just try letting it run for 10 or 15 minutes before driving it...maybe that will help

If you umplug the battery then run it 5 mins with nothing on, then 5 mins with AC on so the computer can relearn. Also might wanna clean the IAC as well.
