Default Modified LS3 vette owners come in

A buddy of mine just got an 08 vette with the ls3. He put a cold air intake on it and OnStar kept calling him because his check engine light stays on. How do you guys get around this? Tune it out of the comp??

the battery disconnected will clear the code and upon startup the computer will learn the new parts....sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
