ORIGINAL: Ricardo I depends WHY you raised the action in the first place. Oh, I did it because I wanted to boost the volume of the guitar because it was too quite for dance classes and restaurant where I play. [&o] Well, understand boosting volume in those situations is a problem of "orders of magnitude". [:D] The loudest guitar on earth won't kill LOUD TALKING of many people, or loud stomping and clapping and singing. Even if all you do is strum hard as hell. If you were playing in concert halls only, with hushed audience paying attention, it might be a little bit noticeable if raise the bone to get some volume. The guitar is an intimate instrument, always was and always will be. Put the action where it makes you feel comfortable playing, not too low so the strings fret out, and not too high of course. Then buy a mic,PA, and GOOD speaker. It is worth it if you want to be heard, REALLY. Higher action won't make THAT big a difference. I have been in situations were we went acoustic only because PA at lowest setting was too loud, but you will know when that will be. In the mean time, dont' make life tough on yourself!
