They all increase cooler air draw and 1+2+3, by definition, would require the most additional fuel to air mix.
There's nothing nicer than hearing that 'induction roar' but I would respectfully suggest riding a bike with uncorrected fueling, especially prolonged use in the upper rev range, could cause significant damage to the piston crown or valve seats. (you have now effectively leaned out your air fuel ratio)

Thanks for response guys, I'm new to the xt not new to bikes so I know how they work and I do my own work but back to my original question re having drilled the box, for now what can I do to improve throttle response and balance the mix with the additional holes.
Thanks again
