Default When is your stock carb no longer enough?

I have a 250x with a 12:1 piston,Web Cams #254 cam,full Supertrapp IDS exhaust and a K&N filter with no airbox lid.I am currently running the stock carb with the needle raised 1 notch and a 130 main jet.It really flattens out at high rpm's.Is it possible that my stock carb is not letting my engine reach it's full potential?Do you think a stock 400ex carb would be a good upgrade for it?

Yes, if it is flattening out and loosing ***** on the top end a bigger carburetor will help. Does the 250x have the same sized carburetor as the 300ex? If not, what size is it?

You could probably try it out. There are probably plenty of 400ex carbs laying around, so I wouldn't expect them to be expensive. Maybe someone else here has some more experience on this?
