The fact that the gears mesh at a 90 degree angle. That is why diffs and others are cut at 45 deg angles, to cut down on noise

Ive heard one before, It sounded like the guy had a blower under his hood. Wouldn't want it on a daily driver.

Here's a few... Jegs has their own brand, Milodon, ProForm and cloyes... One word of advise if you are going to use a two step don't run a gear drive.... You will break the teeth and you will be changing it out.. I know from experience !!

Yea mines definetly no daily or drag car, I hound on it every now and then but rarely. They dont look to terrible to install, i'll probably do a mild cam right around the same time so.

So then my next ? would have to be... why does Milodons kit cost 3 x's the price of jegs? It appears Milodons might be more machined for a drag racing application and has a timing cover w/ it. However Jegs and milodon are the only ones into Mopar gear drives.
