Timing chain/Time gear set???

v8vinny · 02-06-2007, 02:36 PM

On this 302 im freshening up, im going to do the timing chain one way or another, but i love the sound of timing gears drives, can i use a timing gear drive in the H.O. roller cam motor? the only one i found listed is the one JEGS makes (part number 555-20340 for quiet or 555-20341 for noisier) Think that this JEGS part is worth it????

The Power Adder section is for blower/turbo/nitrous questions.

They're horsepower robbers. I wouldn't recommend it, but if the sound is really what you're after then go for it.

I had a buddy that went with the noisy one too on a 95, it just sounded like he always had the power steering whine real loud or bearing going out on the A/C. he eventually went back. People would always ask him is something was wrong, lol.
