    A GEAR DRIVE WILL PRODUCE MORE POWER DUE TO MORE ACCURATE CAM TIMING.THE BAD THING IS HAVING YOUR CAM AND CRANK (LOCKED) TOGETHER YOU WILL TRANSMIT ANY AN ALL HARMONICS BACK AND FORTH FROM THE CAM TO THE CRANK AND VICE VERSA WHICH COULD LED TO BEARING PROBLEMS.IF MONEY IS NO OBJECT BUY A BELT DRIVE.THIS REALLY IS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
