Whipple's concern is in regards to their snouts. Given that a cog belt has dramatically less slip there testing and I quote from Mike himself 15 years ago was not good for longevity. Now again this testing was done 15 years ago... their policy is to not recommend a cog setup based on that data period. But since it is a concern for people rj mfg has is taking the time to design at least an 8 rib setup.

But at the same time I know the guys at RJ MFG just want to sell kits and if people are hesitant about cog that could lead to less sales... they can get the same traction with an 8 or 10 rib setup. So I think that's the route they will go... cog has a lot of benefits but reliability is one of the number one items about this kit.
