Thanks!

I was under the impression that a gear drive "robs" horsepower?

After installing the belt drive and all of its NICE parts, I got to thinking the same about it...

Not so, said the old man (he keeps me in check on all of the mechanical stuff, as far as EFI he's lost)

The difference in price is quite obvious; though, I have never had one, had the dough, and figured what the hell - I'll try it out!!

Don't have to worry about any mustang drag racing classes anyhow because I started my long rod 306 before the NMRA exploded with all of its classes (those boys got their **** together)

The 5.4 rods eliminate me from any class I would be competitive in... Oh, well! I can't tour the country anyhow, and don't have a team or pit crew. Just like to piddle around and try to have some fun once in awhile!
