Little if anything.

You are doing the pipes as well aren't you as there is no real benefit in just doing an A/C and management system by themself.

Yes, I already have installed the Jackpot Dyno Tuned pipes on my bike. I initially wanted a bit more power and better Harley-like sound.

When programing the PCV do you have a choice as to whether you are going for power or milage? I was hoping that exhaust, AC, and PCV would provide me with more power AND more milage.

Jamie's answer is right on as usual, after putting the Fuelmoto performance package on I'm averaging 40 MPG.

I recently did a stage 1 with Fuelpack, V&H Duels and Monster ovals and no change in mileage. Still get around 41 - 42 mpg. Much more low end torque.
