Default What to do?

My air fuel ratio sensor has lit off my "SES" light since upgrading intake what should i do?
1-Replace the sensor and hope it doesnt go off again?
2-Get a fuel management system in hopes that the sensor will no longer go off once the air fuel ratio is correct?
3-Have the car tuned?

Any help greatly apprecieted!

Clean your MAF and clear the code. It should go away.

When cleaning the MAF i noticed the housing had a chip out of it and had been patched up with some cement glue leaving the interior surface with 1/16"high of bumpy hard glue stuck to the inside, the patch job is a total of approximatly 1inch by 2inches and 1/16 inch high. could this be altering the MAF sensor reading and in return setting off my Air/Fuel ratio sensor??
