You can play with running the lash up and down a bit, usually a tool to tell if the cam is properly sized- if it runs a bit better one way or the other, a slightly different cam would help- but the differences are minor, and more racing related where it matters more. In this case, it's going to run & behave better because it's now set up correctly, whereas before it was far enough out of spec to make it a bit unhappy
