S&S is just the best. Easier to tune and work on and makes any engine run faster. the altitude thing is a myth. I have ran my S&S E at sea level and 6K ft with no changes in performance. I have also gotten as much as 45 mpg anywhere I ran it.
But you can build an inferior carb to run well. S&S is out the box performance.
That said.. You need to call S&S and they will tell you which intake you need with your carb, because they make an older intake and a newer intake.

I ordered a new intake from Revzilla. 90 bucks out the door. Hopefully, it's the right one.
I am at sea level and the current jets are .295/.72. Any jet recommendations?
Also, just found out that my Super E was made in 1997, so no adjustable air bleed

As for the adjustable air bleed I tried messing with mine and I ended up going back to stock so I wouldn't even mess with it if I were you.

I'm glad there's an S&S guy here. The internet is full of Mikuni/CV fans. No love for S&S these days.

Call S&S to make sure on intake and intake seals or you may be redoing your work. Pretty sure stock HD intake seal work, but S&S does not cost to ask.
Newer carbs need the newer intake to seal up proper. Older ones etc.

Yes the stock Harley seals are used to seal the S&S intake to the head ports.
