Default 1993 fatboy

Took my bike to shop to get edelbrock performer heads and carb wiseco pistons performance cam and oil pump installed. Pistons wouldn't fit to the head design carb wouldn't fit either so ended up special ordering je pistons but they used my stck carb after some mods. Any idea how much potential power loss due to using this carb?? I am not happy but will know more after breaking in the new setup. When I picked the bike up from shop my tank clearcoat on right side just above head has peeled off. Any ideas as to what would cause this? Paint on this 93 fatty was perfect. I am not very happy at the moment and now have to deal with shop about my tank mystery. I need advice here
