You'll damage your engine.Like intake valves,pistons,etc.You shouldn't run your car to much if it's running lean.Hope this helps.

my car did the same thing when i installed the cai but i didnt get a tuner right away i had headers and dual exhaust on before the cai funny thing though when i installed my bbk throttle body the check engine light went off

i got my tuner from american muscle good price no tax free shipping but the tune is not what i expected only a 6hp gain at the dyno go with tillman and bama i hear really good things about them

lean means that your car is not getting enough fuel.

if you get a tuner you can add more fuel to to the mixture to even it out

Your tricking it for a while but it is still running a little lean.
Start saving for the tune.
