I have a 2002 edge x 800 and the clutches are in need of servicing. I am looking to get more power out of the sled and I was wondering what the best clutch kit would be for my sled. I was also woundering If anybody has had experience with the sno stuff cans and is it worth the money in weight savings and is there a power difference. Also if you had to change the jetting after installing the can any advice is appreciated
02 edge. X 800 advice

well as far as the can goes there is quite a savings in weight..and a noticeable increase in power..although i have an 02 edge x 600 i went with the dyno port can and i had no need to re-jet as my plugs were a medium brown color.... if u go with a new can...change ur plugs with new ones and go for a good 30 min ride going through all throttle ranges so u can get an accurate read on ur plugs...then compare with ur old plugs
Ok thanks will do have you done any clutch my neighbours are sworn by kudny I was wondering if it would be worth buying a kit or just rebuilding with factory parts
well to be honest with you and this is just my opinion.... i like to just keep my clutches stock. i have them both (primary and secondary) serviced right before season and sometimes i will clean them midway through the season.. my buddies run clutch kits and im ALWAYS watching them try different weights and springs and turning adjuster bolts and constantly banging their heads on the work bench lol...they either are getting to hard of engagements or not good disengagements, their rpms arent where they want them to be.... im not saying that clutch kits are bad im just saying that my clutch works the way it did when it came from the dealer and im honestly happy with its settings and just keeping regular servicing is good with me 
although i mainly trail ride so its also up to what riding style suits you and what clutch set up you may need.. just my 2 cents

TECH TIPS 800 EDGE-X 800
I had a 2002 EDGE-X 800 that was extremely well dialed in, SLP bolt-ons, I moved the TECH TIPS thread to the top for you:
almost FREE MODS
PRIMARY CLUTCH:
1) Check your belt to primary sheave side clearance, should be .010" to .015" w/NEW belt, mine was .070" from the factory.
2) Install a new primary clutch spring @ the start of every season. (approx $31.00)
3) Send your primary clutch out to have it balanced. Since these sleds have a bad rep for wasting the crankshafts, put a dial indicator on the crank snout (remove primary) and periodically check the run-out. 002"-.0025" is the MOST I would want to see. Made a NOTICEABLE improvement in smoothness and extends crankshaft and clutch life, they drilled 8-9 lightening holes in mine, that's how far off it was from the factory!! SLP and others charge only $35.00 for this service. Do this after you've set the belt to sheave clearance.
4) FLATLANDER SET-UP FOR 800 EDGE
a) ALMOND/red stripe SPRING (POLARIS part # 7041988)
b) 66 gram stock weights, OR
c) SLP's 68 gram MTX'S with 3 grams in the tip, plus 2 to 3 grams in the middle, slight improvement over 66's
SECONDARY
Button Secondary
1) Install a new secondary clutch spring @ the start of every season. (approx $31.00)
2) Replace the (3) little plastic wear buttons, they're approx $ 1.00 each
3) FLATLANDER SET-UP FOR 800 EDGE
a) Stock SOLID BLUE Secondary Spring
b) R-49 Helix, (POLARIS Part # 5133023)
Roller Secondary TSS-98 or TSS-04
1) Install (1) DELRIN washer under the spring cup in your secondary clutch (less than $5.00)
2) FLATLANDER SET-UP FOR 800 EDGE
a) Helix 70-42.46 duration SLP part # 50-90
b) Secondary spring 140/200 Red/Dark Blue SLP part # 50-4
The old style button clutch was faster on top end
BOTH PRIMARY & SECONDARY
1) Align your clutches (offset, center to center, and check for engine "crooked"), mine and my bud's were off!!!! You may have to shim behind the rear engine bracket(s) to get it perfect. Use thin Chevrolet style starter shims available @ Auto Parts stores under the “HELP” brand.
2) Lightly sand both primary and secondary clutches w/180 grit perpendicular to the way the belt rides and wipe down w/lacquer thinner.
3) Wash/scrub (plastic bristle brush) your BRAND NEW belt w/soap & hot water, and let dry overnight, sounds weird, but it removes the "mold release" compound that would otherwise would get smeared all over your nice clean clutches.
4) I prefer the #3211087 belt, it's a CLOSE TOLERANCE version of the #3211080
