Re: timming chain
I like this one for $75

I like this one if I had money to spend

About any brand name double roller chain will suffice since our valve train isnt a real huge load stock or close to stock. Big cams with big spring pressures is where high dollar timing chains/belts pay for themselves.

I sell a lot of the Edelbrock 7801 sets (to Waller and others). They seem to do really well. My price is only $59.99 though.

Re: timming chain
No one that I know of makes a belt drive for the factory style roller cam. I think waller runs a belt drive on one of his motors but he had comp cams custom make a roller cam with the flat tappet style front snout to do so (not cheap).
To answer your question belt drives are better than chains for a lot of reasons as long as youve got the extra $$$ to spend.

Re: timming chain
dave is correct. the stock style cams will not work with any of the available belt drive systems, comp or jesel or otherwise.
and take mikes advise, I use lots of the edelbrock sets and they do wonderful for much less than a comp or like style chain.

Re: timming chain
I was watching Horspower TV this morning on speedvision and they had a kit to change the chain out to a belt driven system. Don't know if they have it for our v6s.

Re: timming chain
I think you'd have to change about as often as a fan belt... personally I like the chains better, don't think I like the idea of belts slipping on my valvetrain... I went double roller, I believe it's a comp part but havent got the receipt at handsean said:
