Well worth it for sure.................no more tensioners to worry about.

I like the very faint whirling sound from them too.............let's people know there is something in there that they don't have.

I agree on both counts. It's nice not to have to worry about tensioners anymore. Now, I can concentrate more time on worrying about when my belt is gonna break.

Gears! Did the upgrade to S&S 510's at 58,000 miles. No worries now about tensioners failing.

+1 on the S&S 510's and gear drive.
Well worth the money.

RE: Gears or Chains

I didn't worry about the tensioners and simply spent the $ 150.00 to have them replaced at 20,000 miles. Later when I upgraded to Stage III, the cam change and teardown made the change to gear-driven cams cost effective. Now, I still don't worry about the tensioners.
