I picked up my distributor drive gear from Sandsation today. I had it lightened on their lathe.
It "could" help with valve train rotational weight, nothing proven.........but it can't hurt?
It is an early style gear, it weighs less to begin w/ than the late style.
before....
after....
compared to late style....

I sell the EMPI line and I won't use one.
CB has the best aluminum case out there FWIW.
What rods are those SandDude?

It has two shuffle pins in the middle, rubber "O" rings go on the rest.
The rods are 5.5 "H" beams
BTW......when this EMPI case "explodes" I'll have some pictures up, so you guys can tell me "I told you so"!

I think you Oklahoma VW racers should come down south for the Texas Volks Blast on May 6th, and duke it out! (on the track, that is)
Check out
http://www.texasvolksblast.com for all the details, and/or swing by the
TVWDRA Drag Talk forum to talk with up with other area VW racers.
