If you keep it cleaned out, it works great, but it loads up quite easily if you're not right on on the low end needle and keeping it clean. I know the low end and high end is set right and the temps last night were in the 220 - 230F range when the motor was absolutely ripping, but just sit for a few moments, and it really comes off rich, even if the idle hasn't changed for being loaded up. The LSN sits right on the edge of either being able or not being able to load up at idle -- load up time is in the 20 second range. It's also difficult to get the motor to warm up because it seems so rich initially.

I'm betting these are all pipe things.
You still need to lean the bottom and fatten the top. Your compensating a fat bottom by running a lean top. Mine runs between 190 and 210. I run a 2013 right now and ran a 2035 before that. Both pipes tune almost the same a hour here or hour there. Mine will set for 20 seconds I nail it and it takes off perfect. No bog at all. If yours is still loading up at idle your still off somewhere.......
