I am wondering what the exact role of the secondary spring is. I took my secondary apart and it appears the helix is what the two pulley halves ride upon as they seperate and allow the belt to move lower in the secondary. If this is the case does the spring determine when and how this happens. Also it definitely appears as if the secondary spring's action is twisting rather than compressing. Does the twisting preload on the secondary spring determine engine rpm's? Basically I'd like to know what the difference will be between the following 2 setups:
Setup A: Secondary with stock helix and a spring the twists easier (due to either a different than stock spring or minimal spring preload during reassembly)
Setup B: Secondary with stock helix and a spring the twists harder (due to either a different than stock spring or lots of spring preload during reassembly)
Thanks for any feedback, Paul

Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it already! lol
Im not a clutching guru but heres what I know.
Setup 1 will allow the clutches to shift out to fast, loading the motor and not allowing it to reach its optimal RPMs. Like riding a bike and shifting it from 1st gear all the way to 5 gear without building up speed.
Setup 2 will be like keeping it in a very low gear, the engine will over rev beond its optimal RPM range.
