Gilmer drive kit?
Saw this on Ebay, and wanted to get all of your opinion... I think it's a pretty neat idea, especially for track days and stuff... no more slipping of the water pump, etc... but my friend says that it might let the water pump spin TOO fast, causing cavitation... what do you guys think?

You have to be careful with these kits as the aluminium is too soft on some of them and the teeth get chewed up really quickly.

They look great and sound great though.

Well, with a little work I'm sure you could adapt it for A/C and p/s. Looks like a winner for an easy SC drive. You listening Sterling?
