Default Wolvy 450 HMF and clutch kit jetting???

I just got an HMF pipe and a FPS clutch kit. Both came with their jet kits. ( they are not the same). So i wonder if i should use the jet kit that came with the pipe, the one that came with the clutch kit, or both of them. Thanks....

P.S: I mostly run betwen 500 ft and 3000 ft of elevation above the sea level.

Why would a clutch kit come with a jet kit? That doesnt make sence to me.....the reason to jet is to get the a/f ratio back to normal after you change the intake and or exhaust, you cant increase the amount of air going through the motor without adding more fuel,...and thats what different size jets do, increase or decrease the amount of fuel entering the carb......clutch kits have no affect on air or fuel.

Thanks for the answer. I think like you, but i don't know why the FPS clutch kit came with jet kit. I think i'm going to do the one that came with the pipe.

Hey Joaquin have you installed the clutch kit yet? What are your impressions ? I'm looking into getting one and I'm not sure which is the best for our bikes.

I'm really interested, it sounds great. I live at almost 6000 ft. and ride up from there. I see that the EPI kits are for 0-3000 ft. or so and the FPS doesn't say anything about elevation. I wonder what the difference is. Do they change out the same springs?

The clutch kits that epi has are either 0-3000 or 3000-6000. I dont think that there should be much of a difference in them though.

Finaly get the HMF pipe, the jet kit, and the FPS clutch kit installed!!!
Saturday morning i got the first taste of the new pipe and the clutch kit, and i have to say that i was very surprised. Now the wolverine accelerates much faster than before and in long hills and mudholes it feels much more powerfull. Talking about speed, before i topped at 53MPH and now i got 51MPH, but you arrive to that speed very fast compared to the time the standar wolverine takes to arrive to it's max speed.
The HMF pipe it's very loud ( someones can like it, others hate it.....) and you can notice a litle more fuel consumption, but nothing to get scared about.

All i can say is that i'm really hapy, because now the wolverine feels much more powerfull than before, and a little more of noise and fuel consumption is nothing compared with the advantage i got.
