is my timing off?

[jojo_DA9]

sup ppl, i have a 92 acura integra GS with I/H/E with stock tips, and a skunk2 IM, and AEM pullies. My problem is i recently installed buddy club cam gears set on +0,-0, now i know they won't do any good with out cams, but they were pretty cheap, so i thought "what could it hurt?", but now in third gear when i hit 6000 rpm's i lags a bit to red line, so is my timing off, or is it just me. Oh and when the A/C is on from a stop it feels like it is going to stall. so if any one can help please do. :cry:

I don't know a whole lot about timing, but it sounds like that's the problem, especially considering you've been adjusting the gears. I have changed a timing belt before, which required adjusting the sprockets and I know if you didn't have the number 1 piston set to top dead center with the notch on the gear pointing to the 12 o'clock position when you replaced them it would definitely cause your timing to be screwed. The Haynes' guide to Integras covers this topic thoroughly.
