If you installed it that much out of sync, you'd have more problems than a little lost power.
When I installed my cam, it ended up off a tooth and I lost 10 RWHP and picked up around 20 lb. ft at the wheels. On the dyno, the car sounded "flat"...like it just didn't want to pull. I was pissed. We had four people who knew what we were doing look at the dots and the damn thing still ended up being off a tooth.
We pulled it apart to look at it and sure enough...off one tooth. After realigning the marks, the difference was night and day. If all else is in order, check the marks. One tooth will cause major power loss. Good luck.

That is exactly what my 224/224 112 sounds like!!! I had it installed about 1500 miles ago and I went ago against my buddies stock car and he is hanging with me.
