Another belt option that I heard of is the Pirelli Panther.  I tried to get
some info from them out of the Thomas Register but their darn voice mail
system is way messed up and no one answers.  I just hate it when companies
don't have a live person to speak with.  Anybody know about this belt?  From
what I hear its supposed to be up there in strength with the Eagle and
polychain.

I'll keep trying to catch them and hopefully have some info.

One option on the cast iron hubs is to machine out the centers and press and
pin an aluminum core for some weight savings.

And cost savings too for you can order these sprockets in Minimum Plain Bore for a
LOT less than custom order.

Some of the engine manufacturers are pressing the cam sprockets out
of flat sheet steel and rolling them up into a cylinder and
welding in the hubs. Intersesting way of making sprockets.
