Default 510G tuning question

First off heres the Bike Engine Stats:

2002 FXD
Stock 88 cylinders
Screamin Eagle High Flow Air Filter
Stock Carb
S&S 510G Cams (Gears)
Feuling Camplate, Feuling Super Pump and Feuling HP+ Lifters.
Rich Products Thunderheader

Now for my question:

CARB TUNING. I am at a loss as to where to begin on this, so here goes the descriptions.

Bike ran great with the stock cam setup and Thunderheader (Was rejetted by the Indy that installed the Pipe)

Now with the new self installed geared cams and oil path components, it is WAY loud on the decel with all the popping and coughing. Also seems to lug a bit when at 5th gear around 70 mph and need to pull away from crazy cagers. USed to be able to squeez plently of pull at 70-80 for those situations.

I am in N CA Bay Area where the temp is hot now, but most times it is around 65-70 degrees for the most part.

Can anyone just tell me...what jets to use and how to tune it with this setup? (All the "Buddies" I have are all over the map when it comes to tuning so I figure there might be a proven expert of sorts in the forum.)

Thanks.
