SBC Super 10 timing chain

Dragsinger · 01-20-2015, 10:04 PM

I will soon need a timing system for the Super 10. I will consider a belt drive but am leaning toward a chain.

What to y'all like?

Belt all the way. Easy to do the cam timing, gets rid of harmonics in the valve train and they look cool. Tom

Jesel belt drive.

Jesel belt.

I agree, Jesel belt. If you can't afford that, think about a Rollmaster. Billet gears, needle thrust bearing behind the cam gear. IMHO, nicer than Cloyes. Scoggin Dickey sells them. If you can swing it, get a Jesel belt.

Belt is cleaner, looks cool. But CTPO, no power advantage. I have been involved in fourteen different A-B-A tests with Jesel belt vs quality chain and gear and the results I have seen point to the chain making a hair's width more power. Also, no difference in harmonics as measured electronically for vibration and or sonic changes.

Ed's suggestion for the Rollmaster is good. They also manufacture a chain set that allows for timing changes without removing gears.
