2012 polaris 500 ho torque

I added some 28in mudlites to my 2012 500HO.. Now there is diminished throttle response in high, to the point that I stay in low 95% of the time. I am looking to buy flyweights/primary springs to regain throttle response, and I would like it to have a lot of torque at engagement, since I ride in mud and/or pulling situations a lot. I am not worried about losing some top speed. Has anyone had any luck with changing out weights/springs and what combination did you go with? OR can someone tell me what weight their flyweights and springs from an preselected clutch kit are? It is much cheaper to buy the parts individually. THANKS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I just put in an epi clutch and it makes a huge difference. I am not a mechanic, and have never done anything like this before. It was simple. I have a '11 500 HO. Engagement is at higher RPM's and it will get it. I can easily pull a wheelie now. I also did hmf exhaust and jet kit at the same time. Jetting is another story, not so easy for me. I probably going to take it to the dealer and dial it in, but it seems to be running almost perfect.
FYI epi has a 4 part video on YouTube on putting a clutch kit on a Polaris.
