I would aim for the bike to run rich first anyway, then tweak it back. Try the fourth clip down on the needle first and use that jetting advice sheet I posted to to set the fuel screw at the same time.

Oh ok.. I was thinking its already running too rich because after I took off the Whole Air Box Lid, it ran better.. So more air making it run better means its rich right?

That's a possibility yes. It was a 50/50. Needle up one or down one. It's less than a 10 minute job. I would try to give the bike as much gas a possible to gain performance, that's why I suggested the forth clip not the second. You have to set the fuel screw correctly regardless of the needle or main jet settings.

Think about what you want. No airbox lid. Lid without snokel. Lid with KDX snorkel. Then leave it be. Start the carb' jetting once you have decided on how you want to run the airbox. It's a factor in how you'll tune the carb. Choose one setting and start from there.
You have a high flow filter so there really are no more options left to introduce more air into the carb'. (max airflow would be no lid and high flow filter.)
Try not to focus too much on the plug colour or throttle chop's. You'll feel a difference when the jetting is nearing the best.

Oh yeah and the fuel screw, today I started the bike, turned up the idle so that it idles some where like 1000rpm, the turned in the fuel screw until the engine tried to stall, then started turning it out from there to see how many turns out it takes to stall again, but suprisingly, it turned out 6 turns from there and didnt have any signs of trying to stall.. I think adjusting the fuel screw should solve my problem even a little.. What do you suggest man?

Is this still the way it's running?
I think you have your answer anyway. More than 3 turns out on the fuels screw. I think you'll need to step up to a #38 pilot.
Before you go down that road. Set the fuel screw at 3.5 turns out and see how she runs.
