Timing chain off a tooth?

I did a cam install about 1 mounth ago and ever sence the car has been running like crap;It cant even spin the tires no power below 2500rps.It dose run rough up untill it hits 3000rps.I am thinking the timing chain was put in off a tooth;The only reason I havent tore in to it yet is because last weak I took off the opti cap and turned the motor to tdc.At tdc the opti looked like it was fireing on number 1; but how far off would it be if it was only off 1 tooth off would I even be able to notice the opti is off?Thanks

No codes except for the crank shaft sensor;Caused by the dubble timing chain.

Crank sensor is used for missfire only. One tooth would do it. Check the valve adjustment before tearing it down.
Go to Shoeboxe's site and get the procedure.
