CV vs. Super E vs HSR42
EVO 80cu/in. with Andrews EV27 cam & SE heads. Does it make any sense to change CV carb that's been jetted? I.E is there anything (HP) to be gained by changing to Super E or HSR42? TIA

Simply, nope not if the CV is setup correctly. I have a Super E and it's a great carb and is easy to tune. That being said, I wish I had not sold my complete CV setup. Depending upon where you are at altitude wise the CV will compensate. The Super E needs to be adjusted which can be a PITA although not complicated. No experience personally with the Mikunis, but a couple of friends run them and like them.

From what I understand, the Mikuni is kinda difficult to get dialed in, but once you're there, you're done...great throttle response. A couple buddies of mine run them, and it's a good carb.
Not a big fan of the S&S carbs. Just personal preference.

With an EV-27 a CV with a polished and drilled slide, relaxed spring, jetted and high flow air filter does a pretty good job. It will run all day from sea level to the mountains without any glitches. I used to run S&S carbs only until I lined a CV out and kinda liked it.
