Mpg
From stage 2 to a big bore 117. What would be the MPG difference between the two be.
Don’t need to hear all the comments about if your going to play you gotta pay. I know all that and the cost difference don’t mean **** to me but was just a curious thought since I have never been around any big bore stuff.

are you talking SE Stage II 114, then tq or power cam which would make a difference, or more aggressive aftermarket build? then doing the Stage 3 or 4 117?

little too general, did you have more specific comparisons in mind? short answer is more cubes all else being equal uses more fuel

if I had to venture a guess mpg would suck, as in gas, because it would be hard to put a self imposed governor on the throttle hand, for me anyway!

Not sure on the M-8, but on my 12 FLHTK I went from the 103 to a high performing 110 and in normal driving the mpg change was minimal with a good tune. Highway trips I was getting 38-40. Had a bad tune and mpg was about 25. As mentioned above it was hard to keep from twisting the throttle when riding around town. Didn’t check the mpg but it was a noticeable difference compaired the interstate.
