The sound they make is from lost hp! Seriously they might make one but i would stay away from it because of its vibration transmissions. This is counterproductive for smooth hp at decently hi rpm. Rollmaster double roller chain should never let us down and its adjustable. A better question would be when will a timing belt be available?

LS1's can't use gear drives because of the knock sensors.
