Gear drives make whining noise. Also will not wear & stretch like a timing chain. Cost more. On a purely performance per dollar basis for a street car I don't think they're worth it, but some things we buy just because we think they're cool. If you want something different, I have an L-88 off road gear drive and camshaft (all new) that I never got around to using if you're interested. It was an over the counter item in the 60/70's for racing. It's a 2 gear setup that turns the cam backwards.
