Default WTF SES comes on a month after torque converter install

I installed a TCI SSF3500 about a month ago and have driven it every weekend for at least 100 miles+ or so each since then. A total of probably 500-600+ miles with the new converter. I hadn't had any SES at all untill Fri nite when it came on as I cruised down the highway at 60mph. The next morning I checked everything I could think of, O2 sim, maf pug, etc, etc. I have been experiencing TM with the converter though and was planning to get a tune when I get my cam later this month. The car has been idling lower with the new verter also, like 490 when in gear, I just don't know what the SES light is all about. I did install the AMW catchcan before I left out for the evening, but I drove probably 60+miles and 6-7 passes at the track before the light came on. Car still runs great but I hate that constant illumination SERVICE ENGINE SOON, it makes my car look like a POS. Please help!!

Maybe borderline to a tranny slip code and need
to raise a limit here and there. Go get your codes
read by somebody who can do something about it.
Or spend the price of a converter on your own
capability.

Or a bit of electrical tape over the panel.

I haven't had it scanned or anything yet. There isn't anyone around here that can "do anything about it" except for TEA and that's 1-1.5 hrs away. I wonder if a normal scan at a dealership or auto repair shop would let me know what is up? I thought someone might have had the same prob after their converter install, that's why I posted. I'll see about getting the code tomorrow and go from there. What about the HP Tuner versus LS1 Edit, which is the best one to get?

Alright fellas, here are the codes: 1153 and 1133. What do they mean? Someone else has a post on here with the same problem and noone that knows has responded. One is fuel metering or something like that. Please help me/us. Thanks

Alright, I got that one, now what about the 1133 code? Also, I have my other two O2 sensors since I don't have cats, can I swap out the bad one with one of those? They are the same right?

What Ive been told is you can swap
Passenger side O2's pre-cat to post cat and visa versa
Drivers side only pre-cat to post cat and visa versa.
You can't swap from side to side they are differant part numbers.
