I don't think you would notice any noticable power loss with a bad valve clearance.
Power loss would normally be due to an ignition issue. And there opens the can of injector / coil / plug / map can of worms!

Contrary to The Loon's suggestion I don't think you need instruction, having seen you out on track.
You are fast! It looks as though your new coilovers give you good handling.
I think 40 clicks of adjustment would be much too much for me.
I'm happy with 9 clicks. I'd get confused if I had more choice! Also I'm happier with my adjusters being on the top of the units, rather than underneath like on yours. Mind you, I do appreciate that the Gaz cost way less than the Bilsteins, so if you can get the performance you want for the price you want, then that's obviously very good. Some might say better.
Dave, we went out at first (PSS 9s as you know) on full hard front, and one less than that on the rear. Backed off later to one click less on the front and another click less on the rear. Then firmed up the rear to make it the same as the front, and finally full hard front and rear. That turned out to be favourite on the day for that track. This is only the second track day I've done with the Bilsteins and CG setup. My brother and I agreed that (in the end) full hard front and rear was best. A little nervous, very pointy, but ultimately that gave the best balance and control. It was that settting we were out on when you followed us for lap after lap at full chat. (Might I say that was one of the highlights of our day
)

Here's a video from yesterday, the session where I got black flagged. Watching the video, it was for no reason, I'm innocent your honour, it must have been you Ian
