Mahle is a good company - their reps were always cool when I saw them at shows - PRI, SEMA, etc. I used to be a the Sales Manager for the Cloyes Performance Products Line (True Roller timing chains and such), so I kinda know a couple things about the engine parts world. Those SA Gear timing sets used in the motor above leave a LOT to be desired. I wouldn't run one in a motor with that much power.
