I'll give Darryl a call tonight after I get home from work, and see if I can find out the status of these. I'll post up his response as soon as I get it.

yea I'm getting very anxious to get this gear. I want it before I put on this new head and intake.
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
Any word on when these are being shipped out?
Chrome and paint don't equal speed and horse power!!
I am moving soon And I need to know if these have been sent out or if I can change the address it's being sent too? Has anyone talked to mike at openloop lately or what?

Alright guys, just got off the phone with Golden Eagle.
The gears just came back from anodizing. All that's needed now is for the laser-etching and they'll be packaged up and sent to Darryl. Then Darryl will ship them all out to the buyers.
...updates will be posted as more info becomes available.

Thanks Mark, you are the man
Yea someone bought 2 extra I belive.

Bumpityfor an update
Well if someone has a couple extra I would buy one. I just didn't want to have to spend the money and wait an entire year to get it that's all.

wheeee now I can send my cam off,oh yeah.............
Yeah I will be glad to get mine. I need to put my cam in along with changing oil seals and my timing belt
We are currently on our third due date. The first was the middle of May, then on the 17th we were told they were finished adonizing and the outter gears needed made, should be 2-3 weeks. Now, 5 weeks later we were told any day now. We'll see what happens I guess
Have we come up with a ship date on these. Everybody is getting edgy including me.
But anyway, any news would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I talked to Golden Eagle on Wednesday. He mentioned that he expected them to be completed with the laser engraving either thursday or friday, and hoped to have them shipped out on Tuesday. (Now, these are being shipped to Darryl, and then he'll be shipping them out to whoever bought them. So, although we're getting much closer to getting them, there'll still be a few days in transit to Darryl, then the individual packaging may take a few days, then the transit out to each individual.
I'll check back with Golden Eagle on Tuesday to find out where we stand. Be ware though, that they may not get shipped out on Tuesday as he had hoped. This is a very busy time for them right now.
Sorry that the news could not be better, but stay tuned for updates, as I'll be posting them as I get them.
Thanks guys.

This is all that I ask. Just some updates as to when we can possibly expect something. Just a bunch of wolves waiting to feed.
Thanks again.

Okay, I just read all 4,598 pages of this thread, and did not find any real explanation of what the purpose of this adjustable timing gear is. Is it just to be very precise with your timing? I mean, is it worth that much to get down to less than a tooth? Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the price. Actually, that sounds like a very fair amount for a custom job, and they do look realy nice, but I don't care about looks as much as function. Can someone explain the technical details as to why I should want one?
Thanks.

it makes the advancing and retarding of the time WAY easy. and more simple. this way you can change it for say when you go to the track and pump a 75shoot of roids in your car, you have to retard the timing a certain amount of degrees. basically it makes the timing easy to change.
How can it be more simple than using a timing light and the two bolts on the dizzy? By adjusting the bolts on the cam gear, how do you know what your timing is?
"Feed their greed with your need for speed"
no adjusting the ignition timing is totally different then adjusting the valve timing,
for ignition timing you adjust when the spark ignites the air fuel mixture
for cam timing you basicly adjust when the valves open / close... earlier or later will shift the powerband some

Okay, so how do you know how much and which way to go? Won't this have to be done on a dyno?
