Map help

I need some help with a basic map for my car. I dont know a whole lot about tuning so i'm asking. Pretty much since I swapped out the solenoids for AZEKnights kit, did block off plates, BNRs, and stepped up to bigger plug wires the car is sluggish on its tune. Also my two step had quit working and then we messed with the ignition settings and it started working. I'm guessing the plug wires are effecting it? Here are my mods.

Magnacore 10mm plug wires
AZEknight solenoid kit
Block off plates
Rats nest has been deleted
BNR Stage 3 sequentials
Greddy front mount
Greddy elbow
Greddy DP and MP
ST. May dual shotgun exhaust
Aluminum radiator
PowerFC Pro edition
BUR9EQs all around
K&N filters on aluminum hardpipes.
Smog pump delete
Greddy pullies
Double throttle delete

I think thats it as far as engine is concerned. I'm in El Paso and elevation is about 3800ft on average. Any ideas of what to mess with would be much appreciated.

Well i got the response, but i'm not looking to pay $50 for access to a group i dont plan to frequently use. I'm not trying to do a full tune myself or would i ever attempt it. I'm just looking for a little advice until i can find someone to come do a full tune. I dont trust anybody in El Paso to touch my car...

You're looking for a simple answer to a complex question ...

You need to log your AFRs, adjust your fuel accordingly, and if safe to do so turn the boost up.

You mentioned ignition. I'm not sure what a two step is. One bit of advice here though, stay away from messing with timing. Timing gives minimal HP returns and maximum enjine damage when set incorrectly.

Someone else here will have to speak to the general direction that all of those changes will send your AFRs. I would only be guessing. The obvious answer is leaner but I suspect that different parts of the map and a few of the PFC settings need some work.

Maybe someone here with similar mods will volunteer a map for the PFC? Frankly though I wouldn't experiment with someone's map on my car if I wasn't sure how to tune.

A 2 step is simply an ignition cut set to a certain rpm to let you launch the car at whatever rpm you want with the pedal to the floor. If someone does have a map i could use i could probably use it and tweak it to my specific needs a little better than starting from scratch.
