Here's a link to a website that show a Pete Jackson gear drive install..... he ran it for about a year, then pulled it off because it was more trouble than it was worth.

http://www.dw-zone.com/

Click on "My 94 Firebird Formula". Look at the comments in years 1999 and 2000. I think he used to have some pictures of the grinding he had to do on the timing cover, etc.

There is nothing to be gained.... if its "noise" your after, put a real blower on it

Get a supercharger.

Then you can go fast- and sound like it too.

Save yourself some $. Just grind a little counterbore in the throttle body somewhere along the opening.

Should whistle a nice tune.
