Default UPDATE/SES Problem

So since last time at track I added SSRA ram air extension to my SLP ram air, put UMI Lca's on
and I P/P T.B.

Perfect night for racing 40% humidity and upper 50's temp's

So first pass. 13.81@101.2 w/2.06 60'ft
next pass 13.72@ 102.4mph w. 2.15 60'ft

during second pass SES light came on. So I left track knowing something is wrong.
Last time at the track I ran 13.07 and 13.08 back to back hot lapping on a 70% humidity upper 70deg day.

Get home and scan code p0131 02 sensor low volt bank 1 sensor 1
02 reading 0.09-0.11 does this seem correct?????
would these put car in limp mode and make it slow. drove 20 miles home and seem to run fine with plenty of power.

Did getting to much air from SSRA lean it out??. I thought this at first until I saw the p0131 code.

any advise would be very helpful

Unless your car was already running a bit lean, then that ram air shouldn't have caused a problem

I drove 500 miles to LS Fest with no problem. Only mod after LS fest was the ssra extension. This was the first time i made a 1/4 pass since i ported/polished the TB.
I did tape up the rear gap where the metal support goes thru the extension.
Im going to replace TB gasket and vacuum hose from TB to top of intake

replaced TB gasket and vacuum hose to TB to intake. made a few WOT hits and came back to scan and had p0131 and p0151 code still. low voltage bank 1 &2 sensor 1.

So is it TB i ported or SSRA leaning out 02's. never had problem before these 2 mods

Have you checked the sensors? I usually replace them around 100k miles on everything I own and work on. Owning a set of the false sensors really comes in handy a lot. The car wouldnt want to idle right if it was a simple air leak from a gasket. FWIW .09-.11 lambda is stupid rich, it should look like a diesel if it was really that rich at WOT. Another thing to check would be the TPS since you messed with the TB. Did you reset both the TPS and IACV when you put it back together?
