I have a stock KDX220 and I believe jets are 42 / 145 (if that is of any help) at 640 ft above sea level (Maryland)

Did you read the jetting guide? Use those settings as your baseline and you'll have to figure out the rest for your particular bike and riding style. My 220 with the stock carb and the same mods as yours ran good with 40 pilot, 2nd clip position on the needle, and 142 main before V Force 3. That's Florida summer heat at sea level. A tech at Moto Tassanari told me its not unusual to have to drop 1-2 pilot jet sizes with the VF3's. You didn't state your temperature or elevation which might help others make suggestions.
