IIRC, there are something close to 36 teeth on the cam gear. By placing the belt 1 tooth retarded, you'd be altering cam timing by 20 degrees, since the cam moves at 1/2 the engine speed. Obviously this is way too much, but what if you moved the crank gear over 1 tooth on the belt? I dont know how many teeth are on the crank gear, but it could put the change within a decent range of +/- 5 degrees.
