How much difference does a spring make?

How much difference will a spring in a T-20 clutch make. A LOT!! Since i am still new to the whole T-20 theater of operation and CVT clutches this is still a learning experience. While at Ash the Crush was flat and lost power severely in the many turns and seemed to labor in the straights. Ordered a new RED spring from Rec and tore down the clutch with fellow member RDR. This is the results.
The spring on the left is the one removed. The spring on the right is a green spring previously removed from another clutch. The green spring and the red spring are the same length but the red is much stiffer.
The left side spring could be compressed with one hand, other spring, no can do. Quiet a bit of difference between green spring and the mystery spring.
End result was quiet a bit of performance jump. I could tell a lot of difference in the way the machine performs.
While doing a few tight turns the engine DID NOT BOG...in just started spinning the wheels, with the old spring the engine would pull down and not recover.
Once i got to the straights the engine seemed to shift into a higher gear and start stretching out. This was noticeable. Still more testing to do but am pleased with the results so far. Just thought i would share this with all.
