Default Timing Chains vs Gear Drives
Hey guys,

I hope to finalize my engine build plans with Eric @ Competition this weekend. Can anyone give me the pros and cons of using a gear drive in lieu of a timing chain. I have been told that the gear drives rob the engine of about 10 HP, but when you are talking 500+ HP does it really matter???!!! BTW, it will either be a 460 or 514.

Brian
