hi everyone i'm a n00b to gentoo... i just managed to have a picture perfect stage1 tarball install in less than a day... since the documentation didn't really talk about the cflags I just looked at the example in make.conf and used that but now that I browsed the gentoo forum more I added a buncha optimization stuff to my cflags and doing emerge -eD world (33 of 245 currently being compiled) as I type this.... when i did the stage1 tarball I used the genkernel and it buit my gentoo source kernel... my question is now that I did a emerge -eD world... would I have to run genkernel again so that it'd build the kernel again?

If you're doing all that then there's no reason why not.

But if you're rebuilding everything with your new flags then there's no reason not to play around and roll your own kernel. After I did this and compiled everything I needed straight into the kernel - with the exception of PCMCIA stuff as the tools need it to be in modules - my kernel load time was much faster!
