Maurits,
 
Advancing the timing is a mistake.  You have increased base HP to above 100%.  Advancing the timing is only a benefit at lower power because best power delivery is slower.  A computer controlled electronic ignition might even retard the timing (on a curve) at the power you are attempting to make.
 
More importantly, you are correct that you are probably running too lean.  However, the RSA-10 is not a carburetor, thus "jet size" is not an appropriate concept.  You must have the servo's flow adjusted at a facility capable of doing so.

Hi all,
 
I have a RSA-10 fuel servo on my IO540 that is in a Legacy and.recently I have done 3 modifications :

1) Added an inlet scoop which provides 2" more MP at 200knots
2) Turned up the RPM from 2700 to 2850 RPM
3) Advanced ignition timing by 2 degrees

I now find I can not get EGT down below 1370 F. I think I am running too
lean. I think it makes sense to increase the main jet size. Is this
correct? If so, from what dia to what dia must it increase? If not, what is
the solution?
