ahhh. ic, I know where GLD is but never heard of the other one.
but yea. once I get it all together I will be doing a few track runs. I will keep my eyes open in the Mid-West area forum for track days.
So bill, how do you feel about the stock chain?
also, I have seen clains of electric water pumps freeing up 15hp.. I just dont see it being that high, does like 5-7 at the most sound realist?.. It might be worth the extra $50 (Instead of going LT4) to go with an electric pump and Cloyes True Roller Timing Chain (9-3145).
but then I have to modify the cover?.. what exactly needs to be done?
either way, I know I will be replacing the set, not just the chain.

Not sure of the 15 hp claim. There has to be some power to free up, though. I chose the lt4 E. D. set because at the time it was only $200 thru Jason Cromer and I didn't want to modify my cover using a different set. I wasn't thinking about an electric pump, at that time. I had my lt4 set for sale briefly, but decided to keep it. I have a b-body waterpump that I want to modify and try the electric. Either way, I should be fine to use my timing set for either set up.
The choice is yours, but if you are doubting the stocker, you probably shouldn't.
