I'd start with 400 and work down... with that much weight up front, 340 may work... but I am willing to bet 400 will be the way to go.  You may have to add or cut length to the arrow, so have 3 as a test set and go from there.

Good luck and don't get too crazy about it... I drove myself nuts trying to match arrows up.  After picking up a new BW PSR III, 57 lbs with Dynaflight string, it shot a FMJ Dangerous Game 300, cut to 30.5" with 300 grs up front like a dart... go figure.   :knothead:
God Bless,
