So, i changed tuning from e to d standard, and string gauge from 9-46 to 11-52 on a guitar with blocked floyd rose tremolo without any adjustments at all. i checked the intonation and it's fine. is this because the floyd tremolo is blocked? i expected that floyd would change the position up or down, and that i would have to adjust back screws, but it stayed in parralel position with the body, as before.. i wonder what would happened if i do the same thing on a guitar with floating bridge.

Its blocked.
Its blocked.

the fact that its blocked means it shouldnt move. if it was floating, it would have changed at least a little. since you put heavier strings on but also dropped the tuning you didnt increase the tension all that much anyway

And because you also lowered the tension by changing the tuning. Going from 9 to 11 will add about 10/15% more tension (ballpark ?) which would pull to bow the neck, you would notice that with a fixed bridge.
