    The 883 has a Smaller Front Pulley 28 tooth the 1200 has a 30. Yes the bike will have a quicker take off but you will loose about 400 RPM from the Top End

    lights to lights racing you'll do better with the 883 gearing ..if you want 1/4 mile the 1200 gearing will probably get you better times as you get a better top speed ....

    have you changed the mufflers & the air cleaner element  to a K&N  with a tune up  ? , then  right elbow to the ground & full throttle open & then  dump the clutch lever in 1st gear   see if thats not fast enough  you can always put a big bore kit in her
