I've heard of a lot of problems with the gear itself slipping from only having 3 bolts, but the timing belt itself can also slip on the outside of the gear, one tooth is about 10 degrees if I'm not mistaken. I would be willing to bet that Stephan has a set of custom gears for his drag civic, and they aren't the off the shelf gears...I could be mistaken though.
