    The cam button keeps the cam from walking back and forth....Seeing as how there is no more chain to do it?

    Why a gear drive, anyway??? All they do is put a lot of harmonics into the engine that aren't good for anything..... Just wanna sound like a blower???? Certainly no performance improvements to come from the switch.....

    Yep Prostreet, like you I was going to run a gear drive because I do like the whine, but the guys on here talked me out of it, and every time this subject comes up on any forum there are tons of negative responses. People have said they have lost engines etc from them. So I stick to my tried and true double roller chains.

    I think if you ask this question on 10 forums you will get almost 100 percent feedback not to do it. Lots of guys have said they have pulled them out after a short while and gone back to conventional chains.
