Secondary spring setting help

[foolery]

have a ltx se 137" with 144 studs
Just changed flattened rollers to Cat substitute....
Blew original belt at 280 miles - it was broke in correctly

Stock spring setting on secondary is 3-3
From what I understand changing spring to 6-1 will give better belt grip and suggested when studded.

Is this correct?

Is there any first hand experience with this setup on an ltx ?

Not saying the 6-1 is not better or worse.. Saying guys should also be checking clutch offset and secondary spring bind.. I had no shim behind secondary
The shim I refer to is on the jackshaft behind secondary. Used to align for clutch offset.

That's disappointing that they forgot the shim.

The secondary floats so shim won't do anything anyway.

So why set offset? Why would it be in the book. I respectfully disagree buyrite

The shim is absolutely needed. You are correct. I've seen this happen before.
