Gear drives

[DIRT PUSHER]

Would a pete jackson gear drive hold up in a late model engine turning 8,000 rpm

If you are talking about the one with dual idler gears I wouldnt use them in a race engine most of them are not recommended for use above 7000 rpm a good double roller chain or belt drive if you want would be better in my opinion.

both my mod engines have gear drive one is a Pete Jackson the other has a Muldoon single idler style gear drive that one requires more work to clear the cover just space the water pump out some and set pullies up to match.

A good belt or chain would be better IMO.

Unless your running a sprint car with several cam driven accessories, dry sump, fuel pump, power steering pump, and a magneto, that adds up to alot of stress...just run a quality timing chain with a silver Iwis chain...you don't want the cheap black or gray chain.
