Timing Gear Drive

Absolutely no need for the rude potty mouth references. Everyone here seemed to be engaged in a really interesting conversation. I spoke what I know to be true......that is that the majority of serious racers do not run gear drives. I also gave the reasons. I could provide proof, but it wouldn't make any difference. You'd simply say it was not the fault of the gear drive. Hay, it's your money and your ride. Build it the way you want and have fun. But there's absolutely no need to get insulting and crude. I thought we were pretty much above that. All I did was offer an opinion based on experience of what I've seen. I offered that in good faith and with good intentions to provide another viewpoint. Simple as that. I didn't slam anyone for choosing to run a gear drive. I was civil in what I said. I expect the same in return.

I'm just having fun. I have no intention of being rude as you seem to know what you're talking about, and I do respect you. Don't take things out of context. But let's not cloud the distinction between a 500hp street engine, and a 750 hp race engine.

They are indeed two different animals and have completely different sets of requirements. Geardrive aside from it all, I would be using different heads, valvetrain, pistons, rods etc....

But even so...I know a few people making that 750 number at the wheels and they are using for example a stock block which is something largely frowned on. But it lives!!!! And I can prove it!
