Has anyone tried a gear drive. I'll have to do a search.

Re: Do I really need a new timing chain?

I think SMOKNZ adapted a Pete Jackson to his setup. He had the idler gears machined down and some material ground off the back of the timing cover. I was thinking of doing the same thing. But I'm still looking into if the harmonics/ vibration transmitted through the the gears will cofuse the sensors as knock. Only one way of finding out. I think SMOKNZ is in the forced induction forum more if you want to look at his page.

Thats what I was wondering. If it would drive the knock sensors crazy & retard timing.
