Bugeyes are very sensitive to getting the CEL (check engine light) come on when running standard map. Mine comes on if i get near the limiter (6500-7000rpm) in 2nd, then jump off the gas to change up to 3rd. Probably had it 20 or so times in the last few years - i just reset it!
I'm not saying that its fine - as it could be a problem on your car. Only way to know 100% is to get the codes read off it. But chances are its nothing - if you want to reset the light, you can by starting then stopping the car about 4 times in the row (start car, let it run a few seconds, turn off, then start it again and repeat). It'll go off after a few times
