your trouble is probably down to carb set up.....did you have it dyno,d after the tuning mods..?

would be the blowback, i think. perhaps go for a LTH manifold to sort it!

Longer inlet timing (shorter piston ;-) ) doesn´t make this problem better....

Which carb do you use? A big one, bigger than 25mm?

your carb settings,irrispective of what carb or size it is will need setting up for the new stage 4 tune.....
your tuner should have advised you in that respect........

typically you may find the need for a smaller pilot jet,and maybe diffuser and needle changes....etc

perhaps post up your carb /engine details and then maybe we can give you some pointers
