The 7 port go is soft on the bottom end, and the 086 will make it much worse. It'll scream on the top end though. Your going to have clutch problems no matter what you do. You have to spring it tight to get rpms up before it engages. It's just going to be hard on shoes, springs, and bearings because of the amount of slip it will have. Gearing down a tooth on the c/b will help quite a bit but, you'll loose some top end speed. Otherwise I'd recommend getting a differant pipe to give it more bottom end power. As for clutch shoes, I would recommend the Dynamite maxlife shoes. I love the Fioroni turbo slider clutch, but even in this application it will most likely get real hot, weakening the springs and overheating the bearings.
Good luck.
