You may also want to slightly increase the torque on your headset top cap.
I don't think this will do what you think it will do: increase the tension between the spacers underneath the stem. The headset stem cap with compression plug is used for pre-load; once the stem is mounted and tightened, the stem cap is no longer needed in fact. I actually loosen it afterwards.
