The only choice for serious racing—Cloyes Z-Racing billet timing sets. These track-proven billet race sets feature induction heat-treated sprockets, hand-matched with the high-strength of a heat-treated chain. Cloyes Z-chain offers 33 percent more overall strength than their premium chain, making it the most durable and dependable choice for extreme builds and racers that demand no compromise. The fine blanked links reduce stress risers, thus minimizing fractures under severe load.
