Power improvement?

Blair61 · 04-16-2012, 10:12 PM

Hi all,
I'm new here but, I was wondering what kind of power increase I might expect from the recent modifications that I've done to my 2003 Nomad 1500fi.
I recently added Vance&Hines Dual Baggers, Power Commander III and a hypercharger.

Thanks,
Blair

You will hear from others but my understanding is to expect about 10%.

Welcome aboard Blair; You will notice a small amount of performance improvement, perhaps 5-6 hp, but more so you should have better mileage,, sound and an easier breathing motor.

Increasing HP will also increase gas mileage?

I was told, that increasing performance will NOT increase mileage?
In other words, making it go faster, will not give you better gas mileage.

Put wings on it and it will fly. Start out with a near empty tank though because when you get back it will be full. ........honest
