Pete Jackson Gear Drives
Better performance--accurate timing
Replace your timing chain with a Pete Jackson gear drive. Unlike timing chains, a gear drive doesn't stretch, so your cam timing stays more accurate. Pete Jackson builds its drives with dual idler gears, making them more stable than single idler gear drives. A Pete Jackson gear drive is as easy to install as a timing chain and will fit under your stock timing chain cover. If you want things nice and quiet, pick the "quiet" drive, or choose the noise drive that whines like a supercharger. Minor machining may be required.
I found this, said it would fit an LS1 truck why would the quiet one not work with knock sensors
