Did you remove your positive cable from the battery before installing the CAI? If not remove for a half hour or longer replace and see if it clears.

Check for any loose gaskets or holes left around the rubber fittings. If everything's in their tight, either your computer just isn't used to it yet (i.e. it needs to be reset) or you roughed up your MAF during install.

From what i have read BBk require a PCM tune on some Mustangs to prevent the car from starving its self of fuel after it is getting more air.
