Don't bother with either .
Just shim the standard needle and up the mains if needed .
These run great with standard filter and needles unless you want to burn best part of £400 for 2bhp and you will need Dyno set up for the k&n and jet kit

I used 8541Hawks set up on the carbs. Brilliant. Power everywhere.

That would depend on what you consider working to mean. Yeh it will work...ish but it wont be spot on. You could always tinker and experiment while training your seat of the pants feel for things. But be prepared to pull and strip the carbs down a dozen or so times. Once you think you have things close then go get a single run on the dyno to verify things and tweak accordingly. If you have the time, inclination and patience then you can learn a lot that way. But by the sounds of things your most likely better off leaving things as they are if it all works. Why go upsetting things by sticking a k&N in. If you have an aftermarket de-baffled exhaust then simply shim the needles.
