Default Gear Drive for LS Engines

Has anyone heard or know of any companies that make a gear drive for an LS1? If not what do you think about an LT1 unit working on an LS1 it seems pretty similar setup.

LS1 has knock sensors in the block. Gear drives make them go off like crazy.

I suppose you could disable them with programming, but it wouldn't really worth all the trouble. If you are dead against a timing chain setup you could get a belt drive. I think Jesel makes them. Why do you want a gear drive?

The knock sensors are one of the reasons we make so much reliable power. The Jesel belt drive is flippin-sweet, but costs some cheese.
