There isn't a bog when tuning screw for response?

Hi there. Its a rainy day, and the Kid is napping so I thought I'd finally put on the FMF pipe thats been sitting in the garage. so I did and thought I'd check the mixture screw (am I calling it right) and that it was set for best response.
RB's paper work says use 1/16th turns and don't tune for highest idle. I did check highest idle and its close to 1 turn maybe a little more just by ear.
other than that I don't see a difference in just cracking the throttle. (my first 2 stroke) but its pretty responsive, anywhere. I tried little cracks of the throttle. some just barely opening some more, then I tried ideling it low so with barely opening burst. Still no change. So I put it back to where RB set 7/8th turns out. Ya'll are probably going to tell me to ride it so I'll do that on a drier day. I did open the stock silencer drain plug and drain out the spooge. wasn't a ton...maybe 1-2 oz.
Maybe the pipe will make some difference but on my last big ride there was some bog and steep hills brought the RPM down so I feel it can be fine tuned...I guess I need more practice.
(I think its in my sig but I can't see it till I post this...02 KDX 220, with a RB modded carb, and head on fresh top end, with Boysen 607 reeds, with fresh plug and fuel)
