I run a similar setup (with gas flowed head) with UO needles to good effect.

One problem the larger bore exhausts can cause is a dip in torque around 2500 rpm, which is right in the middle of the operating rpm for the E Type. There are discussions on here, maybe a search for “torque” then search those results for “dip” will show you the comments and any suggested needles above what Steve has helpfully suggested.

William,
What is the ITG PN on that filter.
I went to their site and can't find it.
Thank you
