Hi All,

My project Camaro is going in the shop for exhaust, bodywork and paint at the end of the month. They are going to also replace the timing chain cover with a chrome one and here's my chance to change out the noisy gears. The motor already had them installed when I got it and i was told that it's a fresh rebuild. I'm thinking about changing out the Pete Jackson Noisy Gears because people tell me that I'll get sick of the noise. What do you think, should it stay or go. I'm only driving the car to cruise ins and on weekends.







Thanks for the help,
Rob

nice ride. looks like you painted an oil pan on your hood..lol it's personal preference. though you likely wont hear it from inside the car with a loud exhaust.

ditch it. They rob power anyway.

What should I put in it's place???

are you saying they rob power because they are heavier?

any good double roller will be fine

I'm thinking about this one...

And the wivestale repeats itself.It's a personal preference deal.it's never been proven in any dyno test I've ever seen that they rob one ounce of horsepower.I don't like them,because they are annoying.

I had a noisy gear set in my race car for 1 day then yanked them out and put a chain back in. Even in the race car, I couldn't stand the noise.

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to order this

go with the double roller rob. my friends wouldnt tell me something if it wasnt a good idea

I'm going with the double roller. So, the summit one is the best for the price?

yea. its almost half price rather than the edelbrock one

I have a Crane Cams Energizer Cam 282 duration 516 lift exhaust 482 intake in a 1972 4 bolt main 350, if it matters...

try www.pawinc.com they have great prices too!

Actually i have dynoed motor to see if this was true and it did lose 4 hp at peak, not alot, no but some. Yes go with the summit chain.

What do you think about this one?

Which one is better?

Just get a Cloyes set that's best suited for your application. Even a Cloyes bottom end set is still more than good enough to use.
