You were OK with just the slipons, but when you put on a high flow intake you need some kind of fuel management. Lots of info and opinions here on that subject.

You can't "remap" without a fuel managment system. Don't bother with the factory ECM "flash", it doesn't do much and doesn't do what you need where you need it. If Stage I is as far as you plan to go for a while, look into the Dobeck TFI, either the Gen3 or Gen 4. DIY install and tuning, quality piece of hardware and great customer service.
