Default Main Jets vs Needle Setting

I had my Raptor set up with the Dynojet needle on the 4th groove and 155/160 Mikuni main jets. I was amazed with the ease of 3rd gear throttle wheelies, but I wanted to make sure I was not too lean (even though the plug was not white) so I bumped the mains up to 160/165. The torque didn't seem to be there like before so I placed the needle on the 3rd groove. It seemed to get better but not quite as good as the original.

Should I move to the 2nd groove?

BTW, I haven't changed my pilot jets yet, I'm also considering that this would help get that low RPM torque back. I know I'm lean at the closed throttle position, just waiting to get new pilots.

Setup:
Stock
Full Yoshi
Airbox eliminated, dual UNI's

Thanks in advance.

the problem is verifying that I'm a bit rich when WOT meaning (12:1 to 13:1). From another forum, the raptor likes being a bit rich at WOT and a bit leaner (13:1 to 14.5:1) from 1/4 to 3/4 throttle.
