Question Modified 2004 xjr issues

I have a slightly modified 2004 XJR. The modifications include cold air filter, cat bypass (custom), Mina mufflers, and the smaller blower pulley. I recently did a service including new coils and plugs, new mass air & map sensors, had the supercharger off to also replace the heater hose(basically complete cooling system). It was a tedious job (no doubt) took a few weeks to figure it all out. I recently moved across country and no longer have a shop or tools to do the work myself. I'm currently having problems with the restricted performance light coming on once in a while and the check engine light is on. The car runs rich at a cold start but then runs fine. The cars also is running like a beast when the restricted performance light is off (which is 85% of the time). My brother has a S65 Renntech that's over 700hp at the wheels and on the freeway he only pulls away from me slowly. The only thing I have yet to replace since I bought the car in 2006 with 16k miles on it is the oxygen sensors. Does anyone have any ideas for me?
