well your already above the rest of your group, put the right weights for elevation and a shift assist and wait a while and see what works.

Kingcr,

I have found it very helpful to study a bit on the principals of CVT systems first before setting out to tune clutches. There is a great, summarized article on the basics of how a constant velocity transmission works at the following link http://www.snowtechmagazine.com/articles/2001/clutch/cltchtun.php
This article is a pretty quick read and great introductory information. If you are after even more theory and more detail about tuning these systems, I would recommend getting Olav Aaen's "Clutch Tuning Book" I ordered it from Aaen Performance in Racine Wisconsin. If you call (262) 552-8981 they will ship one out to you for $30.00 + $5.95 for shipping. This is well worth the price because it is quite thorough. I have read mine from cover to cover a few times. I hope this helps you out. -Kent
