Major improvent over stock. Did not check milage before installation but adding more fuel = less miles per gallon.

Stage 1 complete with race tuner. Dynoed out at 73 HP with 86.13 torque. Quite an improvement in performance but gas mileage dropped 3 to 5 mpg. Running V&H Bigshot longs.

We put a race tuner, Rush slip on's and a big sucker air breather on my wife's Deluxe. It now has a lot more zip. On our trip last weekend, she got between 50 and 60 MPG.

My 2007 Fboy is in the shop at this moment having SERT, Pythons and SE/AC installed. Looking forward to a dyno session with Doc. Just hope the Stealer doesn't mess it up too bad.

I have the SE intake and SE2 exhaust, along with a SERT. It was also dyno tuned by someone that knew what they were doing.

Runs like a champ, no problems at all, and I get between 48 to 50 MPH during normal highway cruising.

I don't 'race' my FatBoy, or thrive on all out 'full throttle' runs, but the acceleration is very impressive compared to some of the stock condition 88B's that I've ridden.

Installed Vance Hines Big Shot Staggered, Screamining Eagle Race Tuner, and Stage 1 kit. Dynoed at 80 hp. Made a big difference in performace but it seems to suck more gas. I never checked it before but I'm consistantly getting 40 mpg now.
