Default 300ex Bogging down

I have a 98 300ex. I have a uni air filter and open air box, fmf megamax pipe, 14 front sprocket and stock rear. I am really happy with it but now that i put the pipe and sprocket on there, in fifth gear it just boggs down. Its almost like my tires are flat and I can't go any faster. My carb. is stock and I run at about 1600 ft. elevation. But I will soon be riding the most at 4000 ft. Do you guys have any ideas. If I have to rejet, what should I jet it at for 4000 ft. Thanks

Ya I really like it. When I did research on that muffler, I found everybody liking the megamax. I noticed that it had a lot more snap just with the muffler over stock. I got mine from rockymountainatv.com for like $235. It came with the muffler, head pipe, like 6 disks and the quite core insert. Do you have any suggestions for what jets to use for 4000 ft. because I have no clue about carburators ( I only work on fuel injected cars and trucks).
