EVH Wolfgang help

Hi guys! New here obviously, but I have stopped in here from time to time. Here's my problem. I have a EVH Wolfgang and I have been trying to get the neck and action set up properly and have been having a rough go at it. I know a fair amount about the process (as I have been playing and recording for 15 years) but I know the set up could be better. When I adjust the truss rod (as shown on this board) the low e string is just about perfect for 2 business cards and holds them without having to raise the strings much if at all. But on the high e the cards have no clearance! This creates a buzz at the 3rd fret on the high e string. I have tried to loosen the neck and tweek it (very carefully!) but it made almost no difference. I tried raising the high e under the nut, which didnt stop the buzz. This makes me think I have back bow, even though the cards and my eyeballing of the guitar would say otherwise. I can get the truss rod adjusted pretty well, but to work with both sides it makes the action higher then I would like. I play instrumental/shred so I need better action then this! I have the bridge (floyd rose) as low as I can set it up without the bridge popping out and the action is still too high. Ideas? HELP!??!?! Thanks in advance!

Can't you adjust the height of the saddles on your bridge?

I think the only way to adjust the height is the two bolts on the bridge its self. Those dont go low enough to give me as low of action as I am looking for. I dont think I can adjust individual string height with the Floyd Rose.

Thanks for the links, but Im still having problems with it. I contacted the Peavey guitar tech so hopefully he can help me get things worked out. If I do get things fixed I will post what the solution was incase someone else has a problem like mine.
