Default 2018 XC300.. more power?

Hey guys,

I recently moved and went from riding at Sea level - 1000 ft to now riding at 4500-7000 feet.

I have the jetting worked out for the most part, I've played with the powervalve to have the motor come on hard in the bottom and mid.

When I was out riding today, I struggled a few times where I was lugging in second and the bike just didn't have that "300" jam i'm used too. I can't comfortably pull a gear higher when I ride now and i'd like to fix that.

I'm running stock gearing, I did order a 50t for the back, but I don't think that will be enough.

I'm not interested in any carb solutions, none of the fancy carbs out there have a good enough reputation to interest me.

I've reached out to RK-Tek in regards to a complete billet head, this sounds like the best bang for my buck but I just wanted to see what everyone else thinks and if they have had success with anything else.

All thoughts and comments appreciated.
