Default Going Carb...

Well with build recently completed and engine broke in going carb. Decided to do away with the mm system. My question is looking at a screamin eagle ignition module 32810-00 was wondering if that would do ok for my setup
1999 rk 98" tw-8 cams 10.8:1 cr
have decided on the Mikuni 42. I hope this is a good decision doing away with the mm efi and going carb??
also was looking at two other modules, Dynatek tc882p and the daytona twin tec tc88. watching the bottom line a little closer now, wife not liking money going bye bye

The 42 Mikuni is a great carb, have you also checked the SE 44mm? The reason I ask is because I went from the Mikuni 42mm to the SE 44mm myself and found the 44mm SE to have better tq and is less nervous when I roll around the city.

The Mikuni is a great carb. I have had great luck with HSR Mikunis. They are real tunable. Get the Mikuni tuning manual. I'm sure it'll out perform that MM injection once you're set up right. I don't know the part number but the S.E. programmable ignition system works well. It's the one with the remote plug in controller. Dyna is also a good one. You just need to be able to select initial advance, have a choice of ingition curves, and rev limiter control.
