Post Power Loss

I recently added a set of Bassani Firestorm pipes and a Kuryakyn hyper charger to my 2009 HD XL 883 Custom. I then went to get a stage 1 download and installed a vance and hines fuel pak. It was running great on my hour ride home from work when all of a sudden I started to pull away from a green light and I had a VERY delayed response when giving it gas. I had it at about 50% maybe just to take off in 1st otherwise it felt like sounded like it was going to die. Not sure what this power loss could be from. The pipes don't sound as loud now either. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Check your plugs - might be too rich and starting to foul.
