i don't know about a road tire, but mountain bike tires you use 2 scoops. i would imagine that you might use 1 scoop considering for a much thinner tire.
i'm not sure i would be excited about having a tubeless tire on the road IMO. i just think what could have happened on my vacation when i ran over glass at 45 MPH. at the bottom my tube was starting to protrude from the gash in the tire. Yumm, guard rail.

I'm interested in going tubeless with one of my sets of wheels. Anyone make the switch with using stan's road tubeless system?

I don't see the harm in using it. It'll increase weight slightly but it seems pretty minimal when it comes to support with flats.

Ride it like you stole it
I use a metal needle meat juice infuser syringe with the pointed tip cut off to fit into the valve stem without damaging the tube. Just one full syringe of Stan's lasts for months in the tubular. Go for it.
