I’m getting ready to check them. I ran it pretty hard last weekend and I’ve noticed some decel popping now.

Deceleration popping is usually caused by a lean idle circuit. Open idle fuel mixture screws 1/4 turn, or, if your carbs have idle air-crews, close them 1/4 turn and test ride. 

Do you have air corrector jets installed in your carbs?
Running pods requires them, and attention must be given to idle mixture (screws and jets), as well as main jets, to achieve a decent (street) ​​tune,
which is, at best, going to be a compromise... compared to running the standard air-box and filter.

Yes. I’ve got dynojet kit in it. 170 mains. Just changed pilots to 45 I think. I have the fuel screws 2.25 out is where I got highest idle. I’ll go another half or so.
