That's the problem with just randomly sticking parts in and hoping for the best. When performance tuning it's important to change only one thing at a time because you don't know how they'll all interact. In this case you've put all three things that tend to increase RPM's on take off, it's no wonder you're revving sky high before the engine even engages.

When you put strong contra springs you generally have to raise the roller weights to compensate. Also unless your belt was slipping from too much power the stronger contra spring just serves to rob power because it squeezes the belt too hard resulting in more friction. This also tends to wear out belts and roller weights faster.

On top of that light weight clutch springs do nothing for power all it does is make for snappy engagement off the line. They also tend to create more friction and heat and can cause wear and intermittent belt snapping.
