If you like drag racing, support your local track.

I have had really good luck and service life out of the Mancini brand, If I remember correctly they are made by rollmaster.


Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Another Cloyes Tru-Roller. The parts shop (noob employee) ordered me one of those cheapies from Comp, and I just handed it back to him.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

rollmaster seemed to last longer than the cloyes.

I think that ProGear has the best quality these days.

I agree and use and sell Pro gear on everything that requires a timing chain. Excellent product. Made in the USA by a gear company that has been around a very very long time.
