Does anyone have, or know someone who has a pete jackson gear drive or any gear drive on their Lt1. Do they sound good? Reliable?

 

anyone?

 

Can't use a GD with a knock sensor. So unless you plan to disable the KS, forget it. Also, you would need an electric WP.

Here's a link to a guy who did the PJ gear drive, and ripped it out because he (and his knock sensor) couldn't stand the noise.

Go to "My 94 Firebird Formula", scroll down to 1999 for the PJ install, then to 2000 for the fact he removed it.

 

I heard one at a car show the other day, and thought it sounded pretty neat.I was just wondering. Seems to just cause problems from what im hearing about it

 

Besides that they seem to not be as reliable as a good old chain, a freind lost a motor to one with fairly low milage on it.

 

To me its sort of pointless to install a part because of the way it sounds. People are reliably running huge HP solid roller motors with the LT4 Extreme Duty set, or the Cloyes double roller.
