You either love em or hate em. Personally they grate on me after awhile, I must be getting old. I'd really like a belt drive just can't justify the cost.Good Luck....Stroker

I wouldnt get a gear drive, they transfer the harmonics from the crankshaft to the valve train and cause everything to wear out quickly or break

I ran one in a 283. It was cool for about two weeks, then it got old. The noise was driving me crazy on the interstates. Get a quiet one, they are still noisey but not near as bad.

The gear drives sound cool, but I think they will rob you of some power (more friction than a timing chain) Just my$.02 worth.....

I heard the friction loss is insignificant.
