i installed a cai. I think i took a performance hit. I think my car is running lean now, how do i check to see if it is and fix it if it is. if i bought a c&l 73mm mass air meter would that need to be fixed too?

More info needed. Why do you think it's runnin' lean? What is it doin'? :shrug:
 
Yes, if you have the fenderwell style CAI you should try to rotate the MAS, mine liked it about 25 degrees towards the engine. It does this due to the velocity difference in the radius of the CAI, WOT is not affected as much as part throttle.
