Default At wits end!!

OK Gentlemen, I have an 09 SG 96". HI flow A/C , PCV, Jackpot slip-ons with Comp baffles.....The PCV is simply not doing the job, I've had it dyno'd, mapped, remapped and an exorcism , and its just not getting it done, I've never gotten better than 37 mpg and the last effort has resulted in gas in the oil....

My question is.... If I take the PCV off and go back to stock air cleaner, can I leave the slip-ons and go back to being worry free? Thanks for your insight in advance, RB

Does your tuner know what he's doing?? That would be my first question....

I'm running V&H Monster Ovals, V&H Drake H/F Air Filter and a Fuel Pak and I get 42mpg 98% of the time.

yes you can. You can actually leave the high flow a/c on...it will be "stock lean" but the ecm will compensate for it. It won't be optimal but it will run safely.

2 different tuners and a couple maps from Fuel moto, Think I just got a bad unit.

It's either pipes or high flow filter...You do both, you need a fuel management device...He puts back the stock filter and leaves the slips-ons, he's good to go....

you can do as mentioned above are get with nigthrider dot com, and and look at the XIEDS they work with air kits and slipons. others have used them with good results as long as you don't plan on doing anything more.
