MPG & Fuel Pak
Riding 2007 StreetBob w high flow AC n 49 States exhaust without baffles. Currently has the FuelPak installed and I'm getting fuel mileage of about 42.5mpg. Just wondering if this is a good mileage i am getting? And if i were to replace the FuelPak with maybe the Power Commander or other fuel controller, what would be the recommendation here n the possible "improvement" in terms of fuel mileage, power improvement if any I can expect?
Just want to hear some opinions before I make a decision to change the fuel pak or keep it as it is. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Yeah thats pretty good . Lol I average 25 mpg in town But i ride it really hard. Prolly too hard but thats not the point. I dont really know much about the fuel pack. As far as another tuner i run with thundermax and it treats me good. There are alot of choices my buddy runs a PC-V and he like other than a few small issues. Asking opinions on tuners will get you alot of biased answers. Best to do some research and find one that fits your needs. (like motor build cams, heads and what not)

That's pretty good on MPG. I have the Fuelpak on my EGC and I consistantly get 40. I don't know a whole lot about the Power Commanders but my understanding is that they give some additional flexibility to tweak the different RPM ranges.

Hmm...that's good to hear abt the fuel mileage....yeah I know it's a tough choice for tuners. I'm still getting decel pops n I'm not looking at upgrades to cams....etc. That's y I'm wondering if I should just stay w the fuel Pak or other tuners will make a significant difference to the decel pops, fuel mileage, temperature, power?

Call Fuel Pak and tell them what it's doing and where the rpm's are at when it does it and they will give you some adjusted numbers for the appropriate field. If after that you still have the same problems look into a different tuner but they all do the same basic thing.

Have the same basic set up and mine consistently gets me 40-42 mpg whether I am running 50-55 around town or 80 on the highway. I also have some decel pop but I just stopped worrying about it.
