I modified the gentleman's email to reduce the content just getting to the facts of his sled details and calibration.
To illustrate your own primary spring - take a ruler and pen/pencil and draw a line from the 160 point and go up to the 320 point.
You will be able to see the differences in spring forces that will help out out with your calibration.
At the moment you have a 160/320 installed however have to run clicker 6 to get correct rpms.
Let's pretend you cannot change the flyweight; imagine the flyweight is fixed like a solid pin or a hollow non-thread able pin.
What you have left to calibrate with is the primary spring and the tra ramps.
Spring analysis:
PRINCIPLE - Raising a spring "force"(not rate) "stalls the upshift" and promotes higher rpms.
What you can do is take the final force of the primary spring and raise it.
(in the case presented on the spring chart @ 45mph)
From my own testing experiences; 1 clicker increase at a midrange shift ratio is equal to 10~15 lbs spring force (possible 150~200 rpm change).
You could go from the 160/320 to a 160/350 or 160/380
Each spring with higher final force will stall the upshift.
160/320 @ midshift offers a force of 240 lbs.
160/350 @ midshift offers a force of 255 lbs
160/380 @ midshift offers a force of 270 lbs
Clicker analysis:
PRINCIPLE - Raising a clicker "stalls the upshift" and promotes higher rpms.
What you can do is take the Clicker and raise it however you being at position #6 there is no more room.
Having no more room with the 415, the only thing you can do is change the ramp angle by changing the ramp itself you mentioned "If you were to lower the clicker then as you have observed the rpms will drift lower forcing you to turn out"
Your stock ramps should be 415. I have looked through all the ramps that would have the ability to raise rpms by increased ramp angle.
You can change the ramps to stall the upshift with the 412 or 417.
In the final analysis;
*You will be able to lower the clicker number by increasing the primary spring final force.(the word is FORCE...spring FORCE...F.O.R.C.E., not rate) I weigh 220 lbs of force not 220 rate. The spring has 160 lbs force, not 160 lbs rate. A 160/320 spring has 123lbs/in rate.
*You will be able to lower the clicker number by changing the ramp angle itself.
Copy this spring picture to your computer and print it off for yourself.
