Slonomo is running the plowmans secondary sheave but I think he is using his stock gold G1 spring instead of the red one that originally came with the clutch kit.

What primary clutch are you running? Definitely take out that Plowman's spring, it's keeping it in low gear.

Slo, why not just run a lighter spring, or heavier weights in the primary? That should achieve the same thing shouldn't it?
