You'd have to see a pic of his worn sprocket next to a pic of a new one but the piece was totally worn out and was a failure waiting to happen 351 or not. I'm sure the added zip form his power up made it happen quicker but it was soon to fail. Heck much more wear and it would look like a wheel insead of a sprocket.

Yea... i actually thought something was wrong with the transmission... The chain skipping on the sprocket is a weird feeling. Had to really baby it to make it home.

Hmmm, could that be because 1) your chain has only seen grit a handfull of times, or 2) you need to open up that throttle!

uhhhhhhh Trust me I open it up, remember I'm the one that coined the phrase "the sweet spot is 7-8 grand". As far as grit, I wash my bike after each ride......wait that's not helping is it.....LOL
