Default ping and stall

man i was out sunday for a 300 km tour and my bike ran like s&*t.
any ideas as to what the problem may be.
it wont idle at a stop and its backfiring like crazy on decel.
not impressed.
may have put regular gas in which may be a problem will super it up tomorrow and try another tour.
i also added samson drag pipes this winter and
i had a stage 1 and download done before delivery.
any suggestions as to what i could improve or add to try to get rid of some of the above problems.
tx for any and all suggestions.
