could a balance shaft off a tooth cause less hp?

Ok so i found out the vibration i was getting was two things.
1. my balance shaft was off one tooth
2. my rear motor mount was backwards

my question is could those two things cause the car to have less WHP?
after the car was fix and the vibration was gone the car seems to have a lot more get up and go. didnt know if it was my imagination or if it could be the motor mount could cause extra twist and maybe the balnce shaft could cause the timing belt to be fighting the other gears... maybe im over thinking this

Why were they off a tooth. And why was the motor mount backwards.

Nope. As long as the cam timing was correct.
Just your imagination.

Its possible. THe knock sensor could have been picking up on the vibration and causing a phantom knock and pulling timing. So now that the vib is gone it might be running your full timing.
