Default Gear Drive
I was wondering do they make a gear drive for the LS1, and if they do what would be a good one to get?

A gear drive would interfere with the knock sensors on an LS-1.

Gear drives are hard on the front cam bearing. They also dont like high rpms. A belt drive doesnt make noise but it does look cool when you have a dry timing belt.
