No reason not to go Cloyes Double Roller then. Only complaint people have is having to run a elect. w/p.

Plust the Cloyes is like $80 from Summit, which is way cheaper then the LT4 and stronger.

Yeah but then you have to buy a electric waterpump for what 250? And then get it installed. And then you are putting a part on your car that you KNOW will go out in a certain number of hours.... Thats why i payed a little extra and went with the LT4 ED.... It's plenty strong.

If you read the first post, you'll read that he has an electric waterpump already, so he probably understands the hourly risks involved, so that's probably a non-issue.

I vote for the Cloyes, as I am using one also. For the price, it's almost unbeatable. It's also fairly straightforward to install.

like said above, go with the cloyes. You'll also need to delete the CPS and do some work on the timing cover; plug w/p drive hole, and clearance the CPS sensor, no biggie. Its well worth the money savings.

For the sake of opposition, I'll throw a vote For a Pete Jackson Gear Drive (quiet ones of course!) Even the quiet ones make a little noise
I have a set and I love them! But I have my knocks sensor Deleted!! So its not a mod for everyone! only the brave!

Ditto, the only reason i went with the LT4 ED was to avoid the problems of electric pumps. You already have one so you might as well get the best chain possible.

CM sells another double roller for about $20.00 less. I've been running it for a little over a year, with good luck.
