well If the motor pops a little at wide open throttle, you need to go bigger on the jets.
If it boggs, you want to go down. one size at a time.
Ride wide open runs at full throttle, if it doesn't pop, you should be ok, but you can look at the spark plug to be safe. You want it to be a light tan color around the electrode. not bright white

I am at 5000' and I am running 170 main
If I was a sealevel I would go to a 175
