I have a set of Pike DUal air, they are great forks but don't seem to offer much small bump sensitivity.

I'm 13.5st fully laden and was running 120 in the positive and negative chambers but have decided to reduce this a bit to make them a bit more responsive.

Does anyone run significantly less pressure in the negative chamber than the positive? I read somewhere that less in the negative is a pretty good way to go re set up?
I'm no fork genuis, so what effect would this have on the fork's performance?

Put +10psi in the negative to make them plusher (no more though).

Is that 10psi more pressure than the positive in the Negative chamber?
I read that the 60/60 set up was good.
Set the +ve to 60% of your weight and then set the -ve to 60% of the positive pressure!

I run 100psi top & bottom.
More in the bottom than top sucks the travel down.

I'm 14.5 stone and run 135 top/130 bottom. As kj says higher pressure in bottom than top reduces travel.

'fraid that's the price you pay for increased small bump sensitivity.
