Default 2008 Mustang Engine Light

I just installed a bbk cold air intake on my car and the check engine light came on. What do you think the code would be? BBK claims no tuning is required, but i'm starting to think that it is. What is the best tuner to get? Does a tuner just plug into your car somewhere and you can set up your car the way you want it? Does a cold air intake void the factory warranty? Is there shops around that can tune my car?
Also my manuel tells me to only use 87 unleaded fuel, now with a intake should i use a higher octane even though manuel says it will cause knocking?

It's almost certainly a P0171 and/or P0174 which are generated when the system is running too lean. You're going to likely need a custom tune.
