Default Running rich code

Hi I put a airade CAI, e fans, ud pulleys, cat back exhaust, and a x3 tuner. I took it out for the second time today and as I was taking off from a stop light today fairly deep into the gas the engine light kicked on. When I got home hooked the X3 up and read the code and saw a running rich code. Any one have any ideas what could be going on.

Yeah, you're getting too much air into the engine......I had the same issue with the Gotts Mod, but I just reset the CEL, and went on with my life....

Did you disconnected the battery and tun on the headlights to make the computer reset and readjust to your current intake?

What do you do to reset the computer. I haven't done that because I didn't know anything about it or how to do it
