Because I'm disagreeable and contentious (but still correct ;) )....
It's port timing and a 33mm carb.
Putting a <whatever> pipe on the 220 will certainly be an improvment, but you will NEVER make it a hi-rev screamer with the existing timing and small carby.

Regarding the RB mod, Mr. Otteson says:
The results are outstanding and its become one of my favorite mods. The off idle carburetion is excellent with clean crisp throttle response. You can easily lug the bike in a gear higher that you could normally and chug your way through the slickest conditions by almost eliminating unwanted rear wheel spend then when things oven up a little off you go. The bottom end becomes very 4-stroke like.
