So far I changed the plug and put the air box lid back on and set the needle clip at one below the center clip (second from the bottom) with the 370 main and stock pilot. I runs so much better now but has a hard time idling and has the bog up top which leads me to believe that i need to bump up the pilot jet. Please correct me if I'm wrong.....
One of my riding buddies (major trash talker) just picked up a mint 1988 trx 250r ported and with a high rev pipe, long story short, he got smoked eventhough he was three bikes in front off me when he took off
Too bad my gopro wasnt on at the time.....

Bumping the pilot up will richen the bike.  The pilot will not affect top end - only idle to 1/4 throttle.  Putting the air box lid back on, you restricted the air flow.  You need to compensate for it on the idle (pilot) circuit.  Locate the air/fuel mixture screw.  Start your bike,  with a flat head, adjust the screw slowly out.  This will allow more air into the idle circuit.  Back it out until the bike idles like you want it.  Also, DO NOT confuse the air screw with the thumb screw - the big one with the phillips and spring on it.  That only adjusts your slide which needs to be set at 2.5 to 3 mm.  With the airbox boot off, back-off the thumb screw until the side is all the way down, then set the slide height from there.
