Got shipping confirmation today on my ~$25 Ford Forged Timing Gear.
Yup, $25...
Not $250...
I assume its the first GT500 part to come available.
I think WBL (forum vendor, Mike) locked in a few extra pieces in case the price jumps up or stock drops since this is an amazing deal compared to $200+ TG from TSS, MMR, or Boundary.
Anyone else snagging one of these?
EDIT:

"This crankshaft sprocket is designed for race applications. This forged steel crankshaft sprocket is approximately 5x stronger than the factory powdered metal sprocket found on 2015-2017 5.0L engines and offers enthusiasts peace of mind. The factory powdered metal sprocket works effectively in stock applications but when additional horsepower, RPM, and/or the stress caused by belt mounted power adders or accessories are added-this sprocket can help to avoid a costly rebuild."
Huge thanks to Mike R at Autonation WhiteBearLake for acquiring a batch with us in mind.

Any evidence it is not just a factory Coyote gear?
Link ?
It is NOT factory sintered/powder metal. It is factory FORGED (mmmmaaaybe from GT500 sourcing as they are preparing for production engine assembly?).Is there a link?
