I really want the extra cubes of the BGE but don't know about the timing set up. Im a machinist so I am considering building a gear drive. Steff and Jesel both make belt drives so that's something to consider also. Is Ric3xrt set up a modified piece or will it be manufactured by someone? Thanks for the info!


Modified piece uses a Progear 4000 set for a 6.1 ,it's not hard to make, Dave's right about the VVT once it's locked it's not going any where, I've seen Ric lock them with a roll pin,
