engine management system, MSD DIS II, etc. If you just install you're timing belt a tooth or two off, it will run like crap

just being one tooth off is 9-10 degrees off. Ideal retarding of the cam for performance reasons should be done 1 degree at a time on an engine dyno until peak performance is acheived.

You do not want to cut corners in the timing area.
