Do you ever find that the 240SS tune has too much "snap" to be able to get on it coming out of a corner?
Yes and then No. So early on in the years of 18, 19, 20 and 21 I struggled with the balance on my 18 LTX LE. The best setup was a Bill Mohr center spring, in my opinion it was like a teeter toter. When you mashed the gas out of a corner the skis would be off the ground just enough you didn't have control and when you let off the gas it planted those skis hard. After the 21 season I had enough and decided on major changes to the entire suspension. On recommendations from this site, I contacted John Sherrod. Game changer, on his recommendations I now have a well-balanced sled that I could use the power coming out of a corner and it didn't nosedive letting off the gas. I guess in answering your question a stock machine poorly setup has too much snap coming out of a corner. A well-balanced suspension and tuned sled will handle your snap coming out of any corner. I will be installing the same front springs, center spring, torsion springs, limiter strap and a little tuning on the QS3'r shocks on the new 25 that I did to my 18. It is that good! Oh, and I will be tuning it with the Hurricane 240 SS SM tune.
 
What did you do to the QS3's?
I had Accelerated Technologies do a revalve on the fronts and speed up the rebound on the rear shock. Revalving these shocks is not a thing just anyone can do. It's not shim stacks it's the orifice on the position (1,2,3). The best way to explain it was when I got them back and hit the snow position 1 was close to stock 2 position, position 2 was a little better than stock 2 position and position 3 was very useable unlike stock position 3.
 
Sometimes the hardest part of controlling these is controlling your thumb! No lie. It just keeps getting more difficult the higher the tune. If you're not careful you end up reacting to the throttle instead of acting with it.
O so true!!! One word that relates to this> HEADERTUNE. Or is that two?:p
