Default LX Cam Adjustment Questions

I just bought an LX, but I am waiting on a cam to come in(27" 80%). I have shot a max-cam bow for quite a while, so all I know about the LX is what I have been able to read, so bear with me if I seem to not know what is up. Anyway, Let's say I want to use something smaller than the stock draw stop rubber dealie. Will that not increase the draw length by a little? If so, and I adjust it to 65%, will the slight increase in draw also increase the percent let-off? I plan on using a D-loop, so my concern is that at 27", the draw may end up slightly too long. As I have been shooting the low let-off max cam for quite a while, I am not too worried about dropping down to 26.5", but it would be comforting to know that I may be able to get a slightly longer draw and a bit higher let-off by using something skinny on the draw stop. Thanks for any advice or clarifications.

Well, in case any of you are curious, I got the following response from Mathews tech support:

"You do not want to alter the draw stop as this will void your warranty .
You would be flexing limbs when at full draw more than what spec would call
for. You would also be coming into the wall on the cam at a spot it was not
designed for."

So much for that idea I guess. [:@]

It does void your warranty if you alter the stop, but people are doing it..some folks are going to the hardware store and buying a hard plastic tube of slightly smaller diameter, or just using the screw wrapped with fleece/moleskin, or even taking an exacto knife and shaving a bit of the rubber off where it hits the supressor arm.

I wouldn't recommend it when used at the 80 percent setting as it will overrotate the cam, but in the 65% position I haven't seen any issues.

That's what I was thinking. I hope it comes in today.
