Stay with the OEM Honda Belt.
I have used the Toda belt on 3 different motors. They are stronger then stock. The problem that I have seen is on all three motors the belt didnt last past 20k miles.
My OEM had 85k and look great. So after two heads with bent valves I went back to OEM. The other motor, I pulled the belt and the ribs were cracking.
If you are building a full race motor
but replace it often.
Street driven stay with the OEM belt.
