Default Polaris 330 Clutch Weights Tuning

Thinking about doing some clutch tuning to my Polaris TrailBlazer 330. What weights should I go with for the best acceleration? Not sure what stock is, but I think it might be 46 grams. I can provide more info about my quad if necessary. Thanks!

Default Weights.

The weights and spring change only affects the engagement rpm of the clutch.

From everything I have been told in the past, the lighter the weights, the faster it would be off the line. Maybe I'm wrong.

There has been a discussion on this in another thread recently. My two pennywoth, lighter weights make the variator change up at higher revs, rather like staying in second gear to higher revs with a manual gearbox. So, in theory better acceleration. If it has a variator which uses the belt as a clutch, lighter weights would also mean higher revs before the clutch bites, as noted above. However, I find low geared variators don't feel to be giving better acceleration, as "staying in second" means you are revving the nuts off it while not going particularly fast.
