Chain drive vs Jesel for big cam, 7000 RPM

Replacing chains 2-3 times a season? That's whacked. I didn't think about a gear drive. Now's the time to decide for me. I do not want to have to do a bunch of maintenance on this motor besides checking the valve lash. I wanna just put in gas, oil, and maybe some spray an run the piss outta it.

the racing season was 51 weeks in florida and i raced the hotrod 2-3 times a week plus tnt alot. it you want to be good at bracket racing you have to attend to all the details.
