Gear drives are available for the factory roller cam motors. If you're running fuel injection with a knock sensor, you don't want to use one though. The extra noise affects the knock sensor and caused the computer to retard the timing. If you're running a carb and no computer, go for it.

The knock sensor doesnt care if you're running a PJ "quiet" drive... and I know of at least one person running a noisy drive with no ill effects.
