From what I can find online, the SS will take a stock RG by about 1.1 to 1.3 seconds in both 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Even with the Stage 2, I think the numbers would be closer but the SS will still pull you, especially with you shifting manually...the HD gearbox ain't exactly known for fast shifting, IMO.
Just my opinion...
I also expect once we hit about 80, the SS would just walk away...

I'd agree 100% - the SS will have the better Cd and gearing for the higher speed stuff. Me personally, I wouldn't try her even up to 80 - but I'm still on a Stage 1...
there used to be a few on here that took their bikes to the drag strip. I guess they got tired of being dissed and told they were stupid by the dyno sheet heads..
I took my 09 SG to the track, 96" TW222 cams. 90hp and 109tq.
Made four runs, ended up @13.2 @98mph. There was a little more there and I only made four passes. Did not drop tire pressure, just made a few passes.
I"ll be going again sometime soon. But I now have a 107 with 117hp and 127tq. Should be a little quicker.

Thank you!
That is just what I was looking for. I was wildly guessing low 13s, but you have confirmed it.
That means while I probbably can't beat Momma's SS, I can make her work for it. I would expect her advantage to be more on the higher end also.
You don't by any chance have 0 - 60 numbers, do you?

I have the time slip at home. I'll try to remember to post it later tonight
