Does it sound anything like a SBC with a Pete Jackson Noisey Gear drive? I
really like that sound to be totally honest, not to mention I like the idea
of timing that is dead on. Since my truck has almost 110,000 miles it
couldn't hurt to replace the chain, why not replace it with a gear set up???
Is your set up forsale by any chance? Or do you plan on reinstalling it?
