Just a word of caution here guys. Last fall I was in contact with a gentleman by the name of Frank Mills with "Performance Plastics" the maker of the above recommended gear. We through several Emails discussed the intended and current applications for the product. At the time the gear had only proven viable in a dry sump application, due to the additional load imposed by the oil pump in a wet sump motor. At the time they had ongoing tests that were still being conducted to determine what would be needed to deliver it it wet sump engine builders. It was developed for NASCAR and specifically for Winston/Busch with the dry sump motors. One of the main benefits eluded to was "weight savings" (??) Suggest you contact WWW.performanceplastics.com to be sure before you bet the bank on this one.

Just a heads up

Rick
