C'mon Jeff, just to be fair to us guys with peanut motors, post you real cubic inches so those reading will understand the differences in motors and I will look like a "KING". LOL2005 Softail Deluxe 120" Jim's Screamin' Eagle - Built, D&D Exhaust

Without trying to sound harsh...dude, it's a Road Glide.I just bought a Road Glide with a Twin Cam 96 motor. I like the bike for cruising on the highway, but I am used to my V-Rod and was wondering what is the best way to get some more umph out of this thing. I have done nothing so far, it came with some SE slip on mufflers, that sound okay, I guess that is about all they can offer now that they have to comply to all the regulations. I know that I can go with the stage 1 and put a K&N filter, exhaust and a fuel management system. Any idea how much increase in HP this will give me? Is it worth the money or do I need to spend 2 or 3 grand and do a big bore kit.
Thanks, I am aware that it will never be as fast as the V-Rod, I guess I came across a little stupid in my question. I really was just trying to get some conversation going on this board, not much going here. I ask a stupid question, which I already know the answer to and I get insulted. Thanks for the links.Without trying to sound harsh...dude, it's a Road Glide.
It's a whole lotta good looking bike, not designed to be extremely fast or have get up & go. Take a look at MCNews's performance 06 charts:

They tested a 1999 (I'm assuming with the TC88) and it's near the bottom of the first link. The important parts (to me) show:
62.7 -> torque
73.5 -> horse power
777 -> wet weight
13.88 -> quarter mile time (with experienced/professional racer, btw)
Granted, the 96CI upgrade and other items will beef it up some, but...it's never going to get anywhere _near_ the performance of your Rod.
Which they list a 2001 bone stock model as:
103.2, 72, 619, and 11.38, respectively. (VRSC V-Rod). Even if you were to knock 150 pounds off the Road Glide...it's still behind ~40 pounds of torque (stock vs. stock).
Anyways, this wasn't mean to say that the links above are THE definitive guide for every bike they list...but it's as good a place to start as any other.
I just don't think (if she's breathing good and has been rejetted and has the 96") she'll ever have enough...if you're used to riding the V-Rod.

I did add the K&N, PC III USB had a professional dyno done and it does run stronger now, it was bought to be a highway cruiser not a drag racer, and it does it okay now. I probably should have bought a BMW or a Honda and I would have never had to spend an extra grand to make it run correctly.
