ls/vtec -- Timing belt half a tooth off

I swapped a ls/vtec into my del sol and boosted it, about a month after
Getting it tuned it started running like crap a/f are way off, it's showing half a tooth off so I'm going to have the belt reset it's a gsr head ls
Bottom does it matter wat tbelt I get?

belt matches whatever water pump you have. ls wp pump = ls belt. gsr/type r/b16 wp = gsr/itr belt.

And the B16A(#)/B17 timing belt will not work with any other engine, even the B16B.
This is because the regular B16 and the B17 have the shortest block heights of all the B motors.
