Typically a "stage 1" port will not cause the symptons that you are describing.

It could be as simple as the connection to the map sensor, or a bad one at that. Is the Check Engine Light on? If so, you need to find out what's causing it, and that could possibly solve your problem.

Forget about the tuning advice for now. That's not going to be an issue with your current setup.

A bad 02 sensor would make you run rich but not that rich. Make sure you are not leacking fuel anywhere.

presure test your fuel system to make sure there is not a bad injector o-ring or a stuck injector.

If it's the stock ECU, have you verified there are no error codes stored in the ECU? Not all codes trip the CEL.
