I'm not sure what the tooth count is on a gear drive, but on a normal double roller set up 1 tooth is 14deg.
Going from 122 to 106 isn't going to pick up 100psi cranking pressure.

Of the timing sets I've come across in the last 30 years, I have encountered 3 where the dot on the upper gear was on the wrong tooth.
These were all found on customers motors that were already running, that the owners had installed cams in, lined up the dots, and the motors seemed to be down on power.
All 3 had the cam retarded a tooth because of the mis-stamped upper gear.
All of these motors ran well, but had cranking pressures lower than expected.
They were all like 10:1 street/strip deals and instead of having the expected 150-160psi on the gauge they were more like 120.

I don't feel a 14.6:1 motor is going to lose 100psi on a compression test by advancing the cam 16deg...... But I guess we'll see.

How did the cam to from being degreed in at 106 to now being in at 122?
