are you running the air box lid?or a high flow filter? more air in more air out, your getting the air out but maybe not in.

How did you do the jetting??? Did you just buy a kit, and put in the jets that the kit recommended, or was it done by an experienced professional jetter??? (Jetting is more art than science!)
