Transfer Rod First and see how it turns, doesn't take much turning too make it change. Try it and re adjust if Necessary go limiter strap last only if you need to...you shouldn't though

More transfer stroke = less ski pressure under throttle, but alot more under decell/braking.
Less transfer = more ski pressure all around.

Like I had PM'd ya about setup. Set the transfer rod to a 1 1/8" measurement.
This give about the best transfer for traction, and yet not too much so as to take away ski pressure either.

Great guys I'll try transfer rod almost got it perfect but I've got a little push and inside ski lift . Daranello I've got tuner skis 6" inside 4" out limiter strap stock (top hole) transfer is at middle (std) wil make a little adjustment for more ski pressure 55 psi fronts 160 psi mega i weight 170 with gear maybe you can gauge from this for your set up.

Rob,
Are you running studs in the track? That can give some push. Have you considered installing a 13mm sway bar? It will help with the ski lift and the EPS really reduces the additional bar feedback usually associated with the 13mm.
