Default Gear drive for LS1?

Does anyone know of anybody making a gear drive for the LS1, I've seen them for the LT1 but not the LS1 I've seen both doesn't look imposible.

nope, the knock sensors are too sensitive to run a gear drive in an LS1.
where in Jax are you from?

I really didn't want it for any performance reasons other than the sound that would scare the crap out of everyone else lol.

Only reason to have one is DEformance reasons. They put harmonics back in to a motor and do way more harm than good.

Default gear drive

they still sound cool ! as far as them putting harmonics back into the engine
anything performace related puts added stress on the engine. Why not just put some more stress on the engine! hell why use nozzles on a nitrous system just stick a tube in there and blow it wide open ! you could even have a dual stage shot one 3/4" hose and one 5/16" hose. If yah like the sound of a gear drive then srewem all go have a gear drive made desensitize
the knock sensor and have your car sream down the street! be the first!
no one else can say they have one!
