Well if you look at the photos on the website of the cam drive and
chain setup, I wouldn't think that there is a complete gear setup made that
would reach to the cams. And if it was, I'd be willing to bet that the drag
would be a helluva lot worse than the chain setup is. Just my opinion of
course. The URL for the photos is

When I have the opportunity and the covers off I go for the direct drive
gearing versus chain.

Tim, I did'nt see anything in that article about double or single roller
timing chain?? maybe I missed it?? At any rate, single/double, unless you
are drag racing for a living you'd never see a difference. Everytime I
changed a timing set I always used double, but thats because they last
longer. No instant performance gain!
