Answer
First Mike is your motor stock or close to it? If its stock or close to it an S & S "E" would work great for you, if your motor is not stock and I'm talken at least stroked then a S & S "G" would be your best bet. The E model has a smaller throat diameter then the G model.. ie ; the G is bigger than the E and would probably flood out a nearly stock motor even with the smallest jets.
