will having my head shaved mess with my timing?

Well, just don't shave too deeply, or else your intelligence, memory, hearing, vision and motor skills will be affected along with your timing.
j/k No, it shouldn't. The belt tensioner will take up the very tiny extra belt slack. Timing is good as long as the cam matches the crank.
How about a mohawk instead?

ditto...I had mine shaved and it didn't mess with the timing whatsoever...but, then again, mine is carburated so I can make a bit more adjustment on mine...If you use a thicker gasket,you will defeat the purpose of whacking the head.(unless you just need it flat)I,m pretty sure it figures out to be 1 degree retarded for every 10 thousandsts off.You don't have to do anything to put it back to zero as retarding the cam gives you a little more mid-bottom torque.If you do want to keep it at zero or top end,get a adjustable timing gear,about $95
