You can adjust with the clickers but only fine tuning. They are not meant to be for huge RPM adjustments. 50 rpm per slot change if I remember correctly.
I have the TAPP also and will be buying the smaller +1 rollers or even the stock DOO size.
This clutch is so smooth and quiet. It is a big expense BUT if ordered correctly you not need additional tuning components.
Be prepared to run shallower angle helix or stiffer springs in the secondary. The TAPP shifts very aggressively/hard and will blow through wimpy secondary springs or steep helix combos
How shallow of a helix are we talking? Is the stock 35 too steep?
Are the +1 rollers enough to support 300hp?

The color options looks sweet! Is there an additional cost for the different colors?

Hey Mike, i hope you test the PB80 this year i'm leaning towards buying one for the simplicity and seeing them capable of handling 300hp now plus no rattleI'm curious too.
But have a look here.
PB-80 For SideWinder, ready for primetime.
Kind of an interesting statement from a fellow in know (68gmc) who has mega turbo and clutching experience with all the brands.
Is it really possible a PB80 could perform as well as a Tapp? I think it could, its good enough that Precision Sports is putting the dual spring PB80 setup on their 300+ HP Ski-Doo turbos.
Have a buddy in NY that is running a couple dual spring turbo pb80s on 290R tuned Winders. I have my dual springs in hand, but will need to machine the cup and spring seat before trying it out. My buddy is loving the dual spring pb80 setup.

I have the TAPP clutch. Now that I have my head wrapped around what it wants and how reacts to adjustments I believe that I have made the correct choice in clutch upgrades. What a piece of precision equipment. The BEST primary made in humble opinion. Yes you pay for it, but a piece you can move from sled to sled for years to come. I have 6000 miles on mine and aside from initial set up I have no complaints.

You may be able send it back to have the inner sheave changed to match a different taper.
