You do NOT need gear drive cams for 07 and later motors. Plenty of guys are building big HP with the hydraulic tensioners and have had ZERO problems.

Several friends went to gear drives and they all whine somewhat. I agree w/ hog-doc that with the new hyd tensioners, gears arent needed... unless youre building a monster HP motor.
