The deckplate mod alone should not cause a CEL.
Did you upgrade in filters too? If you did you may want to try to get out the excess oil, especially if you upgraded to an Amsoil filter.
Find out what the code is for the CEL and you'll have a better idea.

On some models there is a long vacuum hose that connects to the side of the airbox. If you leave that off, it will trip a CEL. Check all your hoses and connections.
