Default Super E Carb Tuning

Hello,
I have a Super E card on my 1999 Evolution 1340 motor. I changes the plugs to NGK Iridium spark plugs (BPR5EIX-11) the other ones were crap and shot anyway. Now I cannot seem to get the carb tuned right. I set it back to stock based on S&S website, and adjusted from there... Still runs like $h!t. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks, Max. Switched the plugs out yesterday to some stock ones. Card tune was easy took 5 mins not counting ride/warm up time.
I have those NGK plugs on my 95 and never had an issue. Only difference is that bike has an lectron carb. Thanks again.

Maybe they were fouled in some way? Also if the tops are loose they can shed metal and cause flashover..
