I'm sure Steve has some ideas. I know there have been problems with the seats in the CNC's. I don't know if your problems have gone beyond that .
One thing that wouldn't cost anything but time would be to install a set of stock heads. They flow as good as most TC heads do that are ported. I know it seems counter intuitive, but the M8 doesn't play by the rules we're used to.

I was told a story by a friend that has ported lots of heads through the years about a set he was doing for I think a Triumph Triple. Said he worked on them, looked great on the bench, more flow than he had ever gotten out of a like set of heads and when they were installed and tested they failed miserably. Rick and Steve are probably your best bet at this point. I do believe there is more power to be had from that motor.
I think you are leaving some HP on the table with the D&D. From what I have seen of that pipe it makes torque quickly and then drops off some on the big end. Have you considered the Fullsac X pipe? I have one I would be willing to loan you if you pay the freight both ways.
