How to adjust my Reba sL airspring fork?

Heard onforums that you can stiffen air sprung forks by having more air in the upper chamber of the fork and less in the lower.
I tried this - 135psi upper and 90 psi in the bottom.
So, question is : will I do any harm to the fork by having very little air in the lower chamber, and what disadvantages are there in doing this - less supple over the bumps (I want the bike to be stiff on the uphills).
cheers for any thoughts,
Andy

In an hour?! I was at the pub.
Have a read of the FAQ, I put a guide in there.0 -
run mine about 100-70 and they've been fine for a few years.0

Most of the guides I`ve read suggest a difference of no more than 10psi.You`ll lose compliance over small /low speed bumps,maybe gain a couple of mm extra travel.
Use the lock out on the hills...............

Found a 2003 SID pdf on the net - suggests the negative chamber can be anything from 50% to 90% of the positive chamber's pressure.
I would imagine the principal is the same now?0
