Default Problems with clutch

Recently i upgraded my stock clutch to a Robinson racing clutch bell, and Mugen shoes and springs on my Savage. When i fired it up it seems as though i have to give it alot more gas to get the thing moving. It also seems to rev higher after your running it and let off the gas. I took it all apart to double check and everything looks good. I did notice though that the springs are alot tighter (stiffer) than the stock springs. Is this why it takes more gas to get it moving? Should i try and run the stock springs with the new shoes allowing them to expand easier? Thanx for your hlep in advance.

the springs you have grab at a higher rpm, thats supposed to help you take off.

^ correct. Since your motor has to rev higher for the clutch to engage it should launch you out of the hole faster when it does engage, because the engine is making more power. If you want it to act more like it did when it was stock then go ahead and put your stock clutch springs back on.
