I have an 07 Attak GT that had stock skis and 6 inch carbides last year. It steered hard and darted a lot depending upon snow conditions.
The limiter strap is in the stock position and the transfer rod set in the middle. I am also not studded.
I installed Yamaha mountain skis with Woodys 4 inch duallys and it completely changed the sled and the price isn't bad.
I wanted a little more floatation in deeper snow and something good on the trails.
I just completed a 4 day saddle bag filming tour with Snowtrailstv on the trails in Sudbury Ontario area.
This package reduced steering effort tremendously and completely eliminated all darting.
I switched off sleds with my friends REV, Polaris, and Arctic Cat and everyone commented upon the ease of steering and non darting. All of their sleds steered harder and darted a lot more. I read a lot about putting pilot skis on Yamahas, but I wasn't impressed with the pilots on the REV.
There was a slight push in tight corners, but almost not noticeable.
I found that by getting into the corners deeper before letting off the gas would transfer weight to the front end and then it would steer around the corners like on rails.
Hope this helps.
