You are to lean, do you have a nice trail of blue smoke?

If you randomly turn both needles a full turn, you'll have an engine that will not even start.

Determine where the problem is, AFTER the engine is properly warmed up. While running WOT are you getting a good trail of blue smoke? If not, richen the HSN by no more than 1/8 of a turn.
If you are getting ripping good peel outs from a dead stop, it could very well be the LSN that needs to be richened, 1/16 turn at a time, and with either needle, do a few good passes to test it before adjusting any more. You'll soon see what improves, and you'll know when you have it right.
