Need more for my evo

I have a 97 fat boy. Will replacing stock carb with an s&s super e give significantly better performance?

No....You might notice a slight difference, but not much.
The S&S is a great carb, but if you're making no other changes, it won't make much difference.

The CV carb is a good carb for up to say about 100 hp. You can tune it to fit just about any needs up to that and it is easy to tune with tons of information (here) and parts available.

Your money for a new carb would be better spent on other improvements for now. YD

Very versatile carb, that can be bored, Thunderjetted, and plenum spacers can be added, and port matching of the 1.780" manifold ID, as the dedicated build would dictate, can/will show BIG increases, but to arbitrarily swap the CV to an E, save your dough, and your fuel economy as well.
Don't get me wrong, that E,(and we carry them on the shelf) used and utilized correctly is a killer, and the dollar spent, vs the gain, if any, would be better spent on a cam change, for starters.

The bike will be very rideable without the VOES, I used to take them off of my bikes and toss them.
It might make it kick back when you're starting it though, other than that I never had any issues without a VOES.
