Hey Tom,
Ken/Ratbyk and I concur, you need to run in the mid to upper rpms more, don't lug it so much in the low rpms!! You say you shift at 5k, that's barely getting into the power band, you should run it up to 6 or 7 in each gear until you get to the speed you want, then find a gear that lets you run above the 4K range!
You stated that it felt like a loss of power at the 5K+ range?? Have you tried this run WITHOUT the pod filters on!? Several posts stated that the EMGO's were okay, and that the lip wasn't hindering the intake, but there's always a chance!?
With the floats set at 25mm, they are already set fairly lean. And you say you haven't changed the main jets yet.....what you could be experiencing is too lean at the higher rpms?? The pilot circuit does contribute to the mid range, in ever decreasing amounts as you roll on the throttle, but it still contributes! Getting that grey color is getting there, but if you're reading your plugs from just short runs, then you're not really reading them in the sustained mid/hi range, just barely above the pilot circuit.
Did you read that marathon thread that Mike Hart posted about his exploits in rejetting his XJ with Indy filters? Keep at it!!
