Sounds like maybe you would be a mudder? If that's the case you want belt grip, not higher performance. But either way I suggest a Dalton clutch kit, and a stiffer secondary spring. I got both from Hunterworks, Todd is the man when it comes to this. Also grab a Hunterworks belt I loved mine, it seemed to grab better than the oem or Gates brands. I ran this setup with 30" Blackwater Evo's and it worked great.

Not really looking to be a mudder, mostly trail riding and hill climbing and I don't want to be stuck everywhere on the trail

Well I had great luck with my Dalton setup. And it adjustable so if you take some time to tinker you can get it to work really well. For me the secondary spring was the final piece to the puzzle. Also weight has as much or more to do with what you need when it comes to clutching as tire size. I had 27" Roctanes that weighed the same as my 30" Blackwaters. Almost the exact same clutch setup for both. So I suggest going with the lightest tire in the size and tread pattern you want/need, I would have stayed with Bighorns if I could have kept from ripping sidewalls every other ride.

Thanks to all of you for all the help. Just bought a Dalton from Hunterworks for my 2014 800 based on all this information and experience available here. I love this encyclopedia. Thanks again.

Let us know when you get it installed. I'm curious about your tire size, engine mods and what clutch set up works best for you. I also use the Dalton kit and played around with it for a while before I got it dialed into my liking.

I'm starting work on it next weekend. I'm sporting 27" terrabites. No engine mods. People always talk about engine and tire changes when it comes to tuning, but what about adding crap tonnes of weight in accessories to your cart? I've added 3/8" thick skid plates from Trail Armour, rear roll cage, spare tire and mount, winch, front guard, steel doors, roof and windshield, spare fuel, fire extinguisher and mount, ect.... I have also done the Super ATV S conversion to 60" which adds lots of weight.
I ride in Colorado mostly and it is not uncommon to start at 6000 feet elevation and find yourself at 11000+ elevation mid ride.
I'm guessing I'll never get it right where I want it, but I'll chime in about where I leave it. Too many variables out here.
Again, thanks to all of you who participate and help.

Yea weight makes a big difference also. My suggestion is start qith Dalton's recommended aetup. And see how your shift rpm is. It's easy to add or remove weight from the clutch weights. I left my belt cover off while tuning mine. Another suggestion is try to make sure the belt is nice an warm before doing a rpm check, it does make a difference. And a new unbroken in belt will have a lower shift rpm than a broken in belt. And lastly for best seat of the pants power, go as light of weight as possible on the clutch weights and stay in the shift rpm range without hitting limiter when accelerating.
Tech article from Hunterworks here: Hunterworks - RZR 4 Clutch Kit Info This talks about the differences between the 800 S and the 800 4 seater which is considerably heavier which applies to your situation.
