i forgot exact pressure specs on just the HD spring, but think it’s around 350lbs and once I upgraded my clutch/hub I setup the springs to 420lbs and pull was smoother and less effort than when I had just the spring.

Thanks for that info....

I have a 124" with an OEM with Barnett HD spring and AIM VPC... it's stiff...!! In stop & go traffic it gets old real fast...

I just put in a Muller secondary actuator and it helped it a lot...

But... I've been looking at some after market clutches. I've never used a performance clutch set-up, and wondered how they would affect the pull...
