Why did you have to do three startups and shutdowns? There should be no reason for any noise coming from the bellhousing. What procedure did you use?

only thing i can think of is that somehow the sensor is now sitting a little deeper in that hole in the bellhousing and barely contacting the flywheel. try taking it out a putting a couple of flat washers under it.

do you have the metal sensor or plastic?

how much did you notch it and did you move it towards the oil filter/ passenger side? mine is notched about 1/4". i am considering notching my bellhousing as my sensor is hitting it now and can't go anymore.

you want something noticeable? do the inj sync.

It's pretty rare to notice a significant difference in any of these little tweats (mods). Most people do a single mod, shrug their shoulders, and think that nothing happened. Later they try another mod and again shrug their shoulders and start to wonder why nothing happens. If they did them all at once they would notice considerable difference.

Of course there will always be someone that says, wow, for every mod you can think of. Those people are simply putting their foot into it more.
