AEM only adjusts the IGNITION timing. Your CAM timing is dependent on your timing belt. Sync your cam timing again and check your tensioner, it probably loss tension and skipped a tooth.

WOW...
sounds like someone didn't follow the Helms manual procedure for pulling slack out of the t-belt. the AEM has nothing to do with cam timing or keeping tension on your timing belt

Then adjust it correctly and/or replace the belt. Something CLEARLY wasn't done correctly. Timing belts don't just skip teeth. And FYI, there is no "track" that the timing belt rides on.
