Default Gear Drive?

I was thinking aout going with a timing gear drive instead of a chain. Personaly for the timing accuracy but mostly for the noise.

What gear drives will work on a 92 5.0 with a hydralic roller cam. Will they fit right into the stock timing cover without any problems?
What gear drive is the loudest? I heard the gear drives for the chevy's are rediculously loud but the fords are real quiet, is this true?

Default Which gear drives to get?

I finished putting together an 87 5.0 and I wanted the whine but I didn't want to buy a blower just yet. So I bought Pete Jackson Gear Drives. Everything installed correctly they sounded like hell. It sounded like there was too much slop in it and it chattered uncontrollably at idle. I didn't get a straight answer from PJ so I looked into these forums. I saw one that a guy swore behind Edlebrock instead. I had nothing to lose I switched them out and its perfect. The whine isn't as loud as I'd like but what can you do. So keep this in mind if you're looking into them.

gear drives are not reccomended for fulie motors, the knock sensor tends to not like them. some times they work but manytimes they dont. the car will run fine but the timing ends up being all over the place from the computer constantly pulling timing out.
