Of course you can micro-tweak the "area under the curves" with solids by either increasing or decreasing the lash. On the other hand, if I thought more people were reading this thread, I would make the broad-brush statement that Valve Lash on a Solid Lifter Cam Doesn't Matter (within reason) and see if anyone took issue with that statement.
