You can run that light of springs on boosted sleds at sea level, so you will be fine with the SLP pipe. Just get slightly heavier weights.

Yes, to achieve the paper ratio. It should be easier on belts.
Thanks

Got a question for the clutch masters. I have Indy specialty kit. 5v full back weights with 3g in the heal, 110-320 primary spring. Indy helix with two cuts low/high I'm in the low 0-4500' with a 140-200 secondary spring. I have a 100-275 and 110-290 primary springs. And the 125-175 secondary spring on the shelf. Would I benefit to pull the 3g out of the weights and swap to one of the lighter springs in the primary? And the lighter secondary spring or just the primary? Thanks
Not really sure how to put this.....but rode for a few hrs this evening with TRS clutch setup. I had the weights loaded with short screw and 2 washers. So i added 1.8 grams to each weight for 62.8 grams total weight. My helix is the 42-32. At 7k ft elevation max rpm was 8250. Sled felt very weak and did not pull very hard at all. Motor just seemed to rev and not feel like it was going anywhere. Track speed was way down, about 39-40 mph avg. Clutch temps were not much cooler at all then the Carl's setup. Not sure what to think. I know TRS put a lot of time into testing, and was kind enough to share his setup so i definitely dont want to bash on him at all. But at this point i feel like i went backwards.
Note: im running slp pipe set, head and bully dog tuner.

I’ll PM you.
dktraw your right Tony puts a lot of time in & he loves to ride. He's been doing it since age 8 or 10. As you can tell I'm a friend he would respect the part about not bashing. He clutches for stock sleds , for the masses of people the pipe the head @ bully dog change everything. He'll be back in a couple days & may have some kind of solution for you. I can see him rubbing his curly red head already. Good luck
I will certainly let Tony speak for himself, but bash... It's not like anyone bought a "money-back-guarantee" product from Tony. He never saw a dime from me.
On the bold; If you have temps, my money is on the basics like alignment, shimming, offset, lead-in (how's you motor mounts?) and C-C distance.
Have faith and best of luck!
All new motor mounts and torque arm mount 2 weeks ago. Alignment checked afterwards. Belt to sheave is .028. Deflection set properly. Not sure on my center to center. Running the poo 183 belt.
I agree that Tony never seen any of my money, no body made me buy these clutch parts, i chose to. But i just dont see the point in taking it out on Tony. We can discuss why it might not be working and he has even been sending me PMs trying to figure out why clutches werent working.

Something is not right that is for sure. Your track speed and heat is the first indicator.
my experience is much different. I will take his clutching over a high dollar big bore. Even seen his stock set ups give turbo sleds fits. It just flat works.
If anyone can figure it out. He can.
