Wondering what the best springs and weights would be for better off the line performance, and would it affect my top end, yes I will be putting a pipe and silincer on.

thanks

Oh yea.. I guess that would of helped very sorry. The bike is a 98 400 sport and a 2000 trilblazer, they both have airbox mods now, the sport has a pipe and silencer waiting to put on I just thought I would do it all at once.
Thanks

Who's pipe do you have? They should be able to suggest a spring to get you started. From there its mostly rider preference and how you like your engagement.

When I put my RCR midrange pipe on I used a modified plain spirng. When I moved up to the Hi-rev pipe I used an HPD Orange, but have since changed to a HPD Red/Yellow. I also have an AAEN roller kit w/HPD Lavender secondary and 54GM. weights. Once you get this far you really need a tachometer to dial a clutch in.

My engagement is at 4000RPM's. So when I get on the gas hard, look out! Its probably too violent for most people, I'm even thinking of tuning it down just a bit. The motor revs out at 7000RPM's (stock, or slightly modified is between 5800-6200)

What springs/weights do for you is change the engagement and back shift of the tranny. There is no one set up that works for everyone. I would suggest buying AAEN's clutch tuning handbook ($20) which will explain everything to you better than I could in a simple post.

I put the plain that I had originally had on my Sport on my TBlazer. Its bone stock, but the spring just raised the engagement RPM's a tad.

With some springs costing $20 it can get a bit expensive trying to find one that you like. Anyway, to answer your question start with a HPD Plain or maybe Brown (slightly higher engagement that Plain).
