Timing Sprocket Failures

[Travis@boostworks]

It's good insurance for sure.. I think that long term, everyone should think about upgrading. It can't hurt.

I suppose this will be the first thing I knock out post deployment. I can live with going easy until then haha.

Any recommendations in the VA area for install? Still don't like the idea of playing with timing components.

I see the article on replacing the gears and going to get mine done this weekend. Anyone have the torque numbers for all the bolts? Also what needs some silicon?

Any tips from anyone?

So for those of you who had someone else install your sprocket, whats the average cost to have someone do it?

I think 8 to 10 hours would be fair.

You don't need to keep it under 7000. We've got 30k on one of our test cars and 20k on the other, both have massive abuse, near rent a car status lol and no issues. Shelby tracks most of there cars, never an issue. We have thousands of customers running, no issues. Roush also revs to the same rpm, no issues.

I wouldn't offer something that I wouldn't run on my own car and we wouldn't offer a warranty if we felt poorly about it.

No problem, just want you to enjoy it to the max, in fact with flight control you can go to 7800 as we did further testing and feel this is safe for racing applications. I would keep daily drivers at 7500 but if you go to the track, take it to 7800.

11-14's were more problematic, but the 15+ doesn't have an issue. Now if your going to build a race car, built motor, then it's no question a good choice but it's just not needed for daily drivers and stock engines.

We have well over 1000 of them out there running, not one failure that we are aware of. Including many race versions.

Also passed durability testing at 200+mph during the calibration phase. If it passes through the testing we put on these and it passed Roush/Ford Racing durability testing at same RPM, I'm confident that it will not be an issue for DD.

This topic just came up again on another thread. I'm posting what Dustin from Whipple has to say about the topic.
