Get the car tuned. It's telling you it doesn't like the mods you've used. Disconnecting the battery can just be an aesthetic fix (ie you get the CEL to go away but the problem is still happening) so be prepared if have more problems later running an un-tuned, modified car.

I'm sure I'll get the a-hole award for this but really this is coming from a kind place. You'll want to change the spelling of "always" in your signature; probably more befitting of your late brother that way.

Extender or cel fix adapter?

Edit:

You know what? Maybe it's the gas you use. I remember this one time my cel went of when running some bad gas from a Chevron station in Marina. I thought it was a one time thing but then it happened again when I went to that station.

Everything else is stock except a cbe and the cat. im running the stock 93 cobb map.
i got more parts coming so a tune is just gonna have to wait unless the very little mods i have on will be damaging?
for another couple hundred atleast.

You will be fine with just a cbe and cat. no tune required, but it would be the best thing to do.

That's the code everyone gets with a HFC or a Test Pipe. Like other said, either get a tune and they'll disable that code or get a COBB Accessport where it was one of the first codes they disabled!
