M1100t + Hi-Jacker = what clutching?

with stock clutcing and 86 gram weights i will bounce off the rev limiter if I go over 200 on the ezjacker. I only weigh 165 no gear but the rest of the sled is stock. I need some way to bring the revs down without throwing a bunch of weight in the primary. The sled was very unresponsive when I added the weight to the primary.

Rpm is controlled by ths weights in primary. So that is what you need to adjust. If your not happy with how the sled shifts with heavier weights then you need to make changes to the secondary (less angle).

You can get different ground weights as well as weight the heal mid and toe differently to make it shift differently. Don't ask me the right way I just know that the right combo will produce enough weight while still having snappy throttle.

Absolutely correct, but my point was that if you want to change your RPM you start with the weights, not with springs and helixs. To me it seems that the 1100t has too much starting helix angle and this is whats causing it to be sluggish down low,before the boost builds.

I don't know how this will apply to the new cat but on my vector turbo I was only running like 66 grams with of weights this was with the 8bu's. The weight was a 2 stroke weight that was pretty aggressive profile. It gave the sled a little more zingy feeling. I would really like that in the 1100t for tree riding. I don't know if others are feeling the same way?
 
I am running an ez jacker that is supposed to give me 210 hp with stock exhaust...I am adding a barker when it shows up. should be around 220 is what the guys at D&D said...Glen Hall from D&D sent me a white D&D spring with adjustable 90.5 to 95 gram weights...They told me to put the small screw and the second smallest screw in the tip of the weight...They told me to put the #4 in the heel...If it still over revs put the #5 in the heel...So far with just the ez jacker on at 1800 ft elevation works pretty good with stock clutching.....have not had any problems...running 94 octane fuel... I am putting the clutching setup I got from Glen in tomorrow..should have my pipe by the end of the week.....I will let you know what I find out...I was also told by the guys at D&D that 220 is the most hp you will get out of the stock turbo at 8000 plus feet in elevation...
 
So here's what I have. M1100t running boondocker box stock clutching high flow muffler. With the boost turned up I was hitting the rev limiter all the time. Instead of adding weight I went with a lighter spring. Ac purple. 122/240 I think. same engagement and softer than the Ac yellow/white on the top. This brought my rpm down to 8100. So I cranked the boost up some more and started to hit limiter(8300) again. I'll probably add some weight now and try to get my rpms down a bit more. I was running 18.6 psi today at 6500 ft. Purple spring didn't seem to effect mid range or throttle response.
 
I don't have the 1000t, but have had sluggish throttle with other sleds I added weight to. Why not just run a spring with a higher preload/starting rate? And why not increase the preload on the secondary to keep the belt from shifting down in the sheaves so quickly? Helix angle is all about shifting through the entire range, and really only starts to feel different at 1/3 to 1/2 shift out...IMO of course. Too me, this sluggish issue screams to add preload and starting spring rates. Will also let the turbo spool up more quickly without the motor also having to ramp up with big loads on the clutch. My 2 cents....more preload front and back.
