Always been a hardtail guy or fender trem but recently got my first floyd guitar and I do have a tech question regarding my restringing job. Decided to drop in a new set of pickips and put on my favored 11s. Did the pup swap and restrung. I adjusted the claw so that my floyd floats level and that's all good. I notice when I'm doing a dive bomb or really working the floyd that only my low eb and my f# turn to loose spaghetti my other strings remain relatively taught. Did I do something wrong or is this normal?
 
Nope, that's normal for any trem based on the different string gauges within a set and the tensions they're tuned up to, they all react a bit different when you do a dive bomb. Thus why most Floyd related tricks like engine sounds and harmonic dive bombs take place on the low E and G strings since they get the most slack to make the most of the effects.
