Looking for war stories on the use of the gear drive replacements for the timing chain. In the thread about the new Quaife there are some comments on the whine of straight cut gears. Personally, I love the whine that the can am and similar cars have. Besides efficiency that is one of the reasons I am seriously considering using a gear drive replacement with the dogbone idler gears. If there is a reason that this is not a good idea please lay it on me. The major question in my mind because of the floating idler is the behavior of the mechanism at high RPM. Is there an RPM limit rule of thumb for these? I appreciate all comments and enlightenment!
