If you want to, then there are many ways to do it. It just depends on how much you want to spend.

You can pick up a SE ignition module and plug it in and that will be a decent upgrade. Inexpensive and easy. But looking at what you've done to your other bikes, I suppose you don't mind spending money on getting some good stuff. Best of luck.
Is that module still available? Do you have a P/N? I’m finding alot of stuff I look for is NLA.

I wouldn't bother if I were you as the Dynatek is a far better ignition than the Screaming Eagle one. That's why I have one in the drawer collecting dust.
Depends on which SE ignition module you have. The 32654-98 has 4 selectable curves just like the dyna 2ki. I am currently running one in my 77 Shovel.. Works great... Also I spoke with the guys at Dynatek about my specific SE ignition module and I was told that yes back in the day Dynatek was making the ignition modules for Harley SE... I also Heard the Ultima is a rebranded Dyna 2ki...

I don't think you can beat the price and the reliability is there....

One more thing, You really don't need to change to Single fire. It's not totally necessary....

I live in hot as hell Phoenix. Years ago I had a Crane that mounted in the cam chest. First time out on a 'warm' summer day it tripped off when it overheated and it would have to cool off to get rolling again. A bit pissed when Crane told me that was working as designed. I believe it's best to keep those electronics cooler under the side panel. Easier plug n play as well.

Daytona Twin Tec might be worth a look if you haven't already bought one.
