im going out west next week and am wondering what weights i need for 10,000 feet and up. or what elevations are these set up for when the come to the dealers i have the sea level kit in it now and have the stock kit that was in it. the kit has 441 weights, hollow pins, and a different spring and just want to know if this will work. thanks for the help. ksmith

Check your High Altitude Spec Sheet for your Sled and set for 8000 not 10000 for Wyoming. Adjust your Clicker when you get there.

Hollow Pins are needed out West. There are many different Springs and I have no idea what 441 weights are. The Hollow Pins are your weights unless there is something new for 2010. Some Sleds require a Helix change.

441m are the ramps. It appears that your sled was set for 6,000' so you will need pins (short threaded) and that's it. There is no kits for elevations so if someone changed your sled to sea level (completely) you should have a primary spring and pins in your hand that was taken out. That spring (green/purple) needs to go back in.

This is right. Your sled should have 413 ramps in it now. Take them out, replace with the 441 ramps.

Replace the primary spring with the one that came with the sled (sea level is Blue/Violet, altititude is Green/Violet)

Buy new pin weights, you need short hollow threaded PN 417222477. They are like $20/pcs though and you need three!

Forgive me for my imprudence, but why do you guys need to change your clutching for high altitude?

Because the air is thinner at higher elevations thus your sled does not produce as much horsepower. You lose approximately 3% of power for every 1000 ft of elevation climb. So a 150 hp sled at sea level is only a 100hp sled at 10,000 ft.

Your clutches (all sleds) are tuned to the amount of horsepower your sled makes so if you don't change anything you will have even less power because you would be able to use the full range of motion of your clutches...
