Timing gears are the most accurate way to time the cam, HOWEVER, the gear drives fool the knock sensor into thinking it hears pinging and will pull timing out. Definitely not what you want. A good double roller set will last a good long time on the street.
But I thought you couldn't run a double timing chain with a roller cam? True?

that makes me quite sad.....i had my heart set on a gear drive (mostly for the sound, but the accuracy would be a pretty good benefit also!) now i have to settle for a chain? how about the "quiet" gear drives? are they the same as the noisy ones?
