Importance of Valve adjustment

Just thought I'd mention that after adjusting my valves,(intake was pretty tight) motor runs very strong and clean and gained probably 8 MPH and can fishtail around corners with ease now. I think its better to adjust on the looser end of the specs than the tighter end but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Valve will actually stretch. Causing the gap to be less.
