Not to be a dick but...
I tried this game before with a '06 summit X. The thing was nuts a@ 2000- 3500ft. When I got to the mountains though, it sucked pinecones! For me, do the minor mods like a can, diffrent shocks and seat if you like, but leave the engine alone, pull the rope and go. Its a hell of a lot less dissapointing! I got tired of trying to chase the moded horsepower magic rainbow. Just my 2 bits.

The way you have shotgun listed your mods is hard to understand, do you have the TEAM secodnary & what helixs? What do you weigh, & tell us what mods are installed. What was the stock track so we know what gears you started with?
For now, my 2 cents;
- 19/45 gear with a 163 track (19/46 if you weigh more than 225)
- HPS can
- Stock cut head
- V-force
- Primary spring 160-290
- Start with 16 gms pin weight
- Secondary - Need to know what you have ????

I'm a "pull the cord and ride" guy like Summitstef and my 04 has a stock engine and ride 7-12,000' and the DPM does its job BUT with your 14:1 head at 3,000', all bets are OFF with pump gas.
Can't help with your secondary either but maybe Dynamo^Joe can help. I have his primary clutch kit and it really makes an improvement but with your 163 x 2.5, can't help. Stock gears with your track? We all run 19 top on our stock 151. Check out www.dootalk.com and ask Joe, he's on there alot.

Well I am glad some people are showing interest to help much appreciated, To start I know this setup works my friend has the same setup minus a smaller 151 , and he has all stock clutches minus some tuning, So I have some of the answers needed to this puzzle, Sorry for not the proper info Gear ratio now is 19-43 I was thinking of going back to stock 19-45 due to the little added power, Right now the sled sits stock minus the reeds,and longer track, gear changes, I also have boss noss 30 shot kit my buddy is still running it on his very similar modified sled with high comp head 1 season no probs, I was told by kelsey at rktek NO'NO on the noss? I also will throw this in I talked with jason at teamhe told me my clutch setup should be primary-160-260 14.5 grams pin wt secoundary 66-62.33 66-60.33 helix with red and black spring these are new team tied numbers for helix right now I have 70-65fer 68-63fer helix with red and black spring. Hope this Info helps with some more input thanks again
NOS on that motor ='s Kaboom IMHO.
Stick with what you have, head cut, and the gearing, 19/45.
Go with the TEAM (I am a big fan of TEAM). I think you are too steep on helix's. I would rather see less steep helix, & more pin weight working the motor.
I would try 60/44-42 w/ Red/Black spring.
On my 06 800, the helix's I ran did VERY well,

Note that he is running the Tied Clutch. Helix angles are 16-18 degrees higher that an equivalent TSS-04 helix.
The helix Jason specified will work good.

Thanx, I did miss that.
