timing issues

so i changed my timing chain. point is i think im off a tooth on the crank.
runs perfect at idle. have to keep the gas mashed to do 80. seems to have a loss of power on the low end and not the top end. didn't have to do that before. reset the timing on the distributor to 10 degrees.

god do i hate torx bolts....

any ideas?
