Bear is right infact I am not sure that a good roller timing chain won't outlast a gear drive setup. They are intended for race applications that don't care about longevity. What is good on a race engine is not neccesarily good on a street engine. Look at it this way my race engine probably has less than 50 miles on it, and I just finished more or less rebuilding it, and and checking everything for proper specs, and thats not uncommon.

I see your point that i dont need it and a chain drive would be fine but i love the whining sound of the gears. iam not totally sure i want to do this yet either. i know you cannot use gear drives in some engines if it has a knock sensor. iam not sure if the EFI 460 has one because i havent looked it up yet. just wondering if anyone has experience or has one in their EFI 460.
