Its not that you will have issues of running lean.

People mostly have issues in either idling or low load driving with aftermarket intakes. The a/f ratio at times dips a little to low and goes up and down as it settles back to around 14.7 .

It really depends on the car and intake pipe design. If its stock size and shape it will be fine, if its 45* angle style or larger than stock, then you might or might not have that small minor issue sometimes. However you dont need to worry about blowing your motor.
