Has anyone had any experience with the Pete Jackson gear drives? Also what kind of sound do you get from the silent and blower whine gear drives???

 

i see no reason to use one, they cost a lot of money, i'd guess robs HP. the silent ones are quiet and the noises ones sounds like a roots blower.

 

I've seen dyno's runs testing these units they tend to cost power when installed on some engines. True rollers (timing chains) are highly recommended as an alternative and at about 1/3 the price.

I agree, the noise is a bunch of poser money-spank and of no value. Use a good timing chain and put a blower on it if you want blower whine.

 

I had the pete jackson gear drive on my car, sounded pretty cool but it was messing with my knock sensor and screwing up timing so I took it off and went with the comp cams chain setup.

The engine builder that recomended the gear drive and told me that it would work fine on a TPI, wouldnt give me my $$$ back for it when it didnt work fine. So it up for sale, if you want it let me know and Ill give it to you for like 75% of what ever I paid for it. Im not saying it doesnt work or isnt cool, just that the TPI motors tend not to like it, and Ived heard this from a few other people.

I'm using one and love it, but my car isn't driven daily. It's a quiet one and sounds really good, not too loud. I got it new for $50 from a guy I know, but for the price, just get a double roller chain, unless you really want the sound.
