No need to post comments if you do not want to.
Just trying to see where everyone's head is at on this huge topic.

if youre doing a blower install, its not that much more work to do the OPG/CS at the same time. save time down the road.

I wish I would have done this before the Paxton install, but it will give me something to do while she's garaged for the winter.

Initially I was not planning to upgrade OPG and TG, my plan was to go with the Whipple warranty instead. However, after recent events which occurred a week or so before my SC install, I decided to go ahead and swap out OPG/TG so I would not have to worry about this issue going forward. I know the Whipple warranty would provide some financial piece of mind, should OPG failure occur, but to be quite honest - I just didn't want to go through the experience of a damaged engine. OPG/TG replacement cost me more money up front but it pays off on every WOT rip! Worth every penny in my opinion...

Just had them done with a damper. Sure the cost stings a little but its one less thing to worry about when I set fires and light the tires.

Did mine the same time I did the Whipple. Makes it easier to sleep at night when I bang her of the Rev limiter on accident.

Installed mine a couple of thousand miles after my Paxton install. I went with the following if people are wondering what others are using:

-Boundary OPG
-TSS Crank Gear
-ATI Balancer

Shop that did my FRPP (Roush) Phase 1 did not think it was needed for a street car. I chose to spend the money on the upgraded Roush warranty that covers a lot more than the OPG. Hopefully, I won't have to test how user friendly Roush warranty service is........

just because something has a warranty, doesnt mean its a quality product and things wont break.

Hyundai and Kia offered 10yr/100k warranties on their vehicles in the 90s and they still didnt outsell honda or toyota.

Not sure if directed toward my comment but I was simply sharing the choice I made. If I spent +/- $1,500 to have an OPG/TG set put in and then break a half-shaft, is the OPG/TG installer going to fix it? I chose to spend $995 for warranty that covers the OPG/TG, Engine, Transmission, Drive shaft, Differential, Half Shafts, etc.....

If I am proven to have made a bad choice in the future, I will be the first to admit it.

only OPG (MMR), stock Timing gear

 

[Boduke0220]

I just ordered a TVS and I'm doing them. $700 to save a $6k motor? Will do

Interesting choice....I'm leaning this way. What made you go this route?

 

[zaquhree]

might as well do it all while you're in there. People have broken crank gear.

I have Boundary OPG and MMR CS. Cost me an extra 2 hours labor since I already had the blower on my car when they were done. Either way, a little piece of mind for the 1/2 mile passes I have done and will be doing in the car.
