Oil Leaking. I’m lost.
2 things. A torn or leaking oil pump o-ring will wet sump the motor and make it very sluggish - easy to check by pulling the allen plug in the bottom of the case. Also, CFR mufflers are horrible tuning nightmares with certain cams/combinations I don't think you will miss them. Power duals also killed your low end torque with them compared to a good 2-1. Withe that drastic of an exhaust change, tuning is in order.

As the oil gets hot and thins out, sumping typically gets worse if it's leaking past the o-ring - unless it's really torn/broken. That's why I said get it the oil warm/hot and do it when it's exhibiting the symptom. You could crack it loose and snug it when it's cold just to get the plug started, then back it out when draining.
