Default Which baffles for XP-409

Trying to find the best Vans baffle kit as a starting point for the XP-409 going in my Bearhawk. While it won't be a 'perfect fit', it provides a good starting point...So, based on the picture, can someone tell me which baffle kit I should order?

Default LSE

Can't help with the baffles but you might consider replacing the LSE Hall Effect Module with either the std or mini direct crank trigger; you already have the correct flywheel/ring gear assy.

Looks like a parallel-valve Lycoming with forward induction... the baffle kit for the IO-360-M1B would probably be the best foundation to start from. Just finished installing mine, so you can follow the link in my signature if you'd like to see photos.
