Yes it's the same regardless of chain-tension because resistance comes from cam-lobes pushing on valve-springs; which doesn't change. There are two variables you need to examine:
1. tensioner-health vs.
2. cam-chain wear
You need to isolate each one independently to figure out what your problem is. Chain-wear is easy, measure distance between links and calculate stretch %.
Once that's been eliminated OR implicated as out-of-spec, THEN you can go on to more difficult troubleshooting of tensioner.
