so ive been doing some reading on cluctch springs and i currently have the 1k springs. ive been thinking wouldn't the higher rated springs be better?
my thought process behind this is if the clutch isnt kicking in until 2.5k or 3k rpms (which ever the highest rated springs are) you would be closer to your power band and the engine would putting out more power than starting out at 1k thus giving better acceleration.
how ever i have read a lot and i have seen a lot people say the exact opposite which to me makes no sense. why would you want the engine to start moving you at a lower rmp making it take longer to reach the higher rpms for your powerband?
now i know the variator weights come into play here but if possible try to think about what im saying without having the variator weights come into play.
for instance i know if you have lighter weights and the light springs like i do the acceleration is pretty fast but i feel like if the engine would kick in at higher rpms the acceleration would be faster.
im kinda just using a little common sense here but i could be wrong and i would love for someone to tell me why it is that i have read a lot of people saying to go with the lighter weights and springs rather than going with lighter weights and heavier springs?
