Did you get a new rear sprocket as well, if not, take advice and get a new one.

Old sprockets kill new chains and sprockets!

I would run a 240 main to be of the safe side but I have the same exhaust system and it ran the best with the stock jetting (230 main)

the main jet has a lot of variables.
fmf or any aftermarket exhaust is supposed to add a 20% gain.
read up on here about the fmf i think you should have a larger one then 240
plug chops will tell you

that's with it on I would go 250~260 with it off. Do a plug chop to get an actuate reading. My plug chop with the fmf and air box lid on was best with the 230 main. when I ran an open air box it was a 250 main. I did my plug chops and that was where the best plug chops landed. i'm at about 850 feet above sea level and 75 degrees average temp.
