Any using a gear drive instead of timing chain set?

I see these gear drive setups on eBay fairly cheap to replace the timing chain set and seems to be a great idea. Anyone running one on a 460?

The gears are great no slack, they dont streatch it's extra cash to get a good set, but there is one problem, they are very noisey, Very, to the point I put a double row chain back on, sorry.

Nothing says hotrod like the wirling sound from a gear drive. They sound kind of like a blower drive. It's kind of a high pitched wine...love it or hate it.
