Just saw it and wondered if this is a good investment. My car is turbo and this spring it will be making around 500whp. is this a good investment. thanks

 

I had a buddy who had one. i think its more of a novelty item. my timing belt always stays tight...

 

A lot of 700 WHP guys dont use them, a select few do. I have one and plan to run one on my HR car, I figure better safe than sorry but even I argue with myself how important it is lol

 

I wouldnt buy one from them..... I've seen a bunch of there stuff fall apart.

 

it is really needed when you have taken lots off the head and block and the belt is to long on the front side other than that its not needed

 

Some people feel the same way about condoms.

 

lol! ^ i am on the fence about one.

 

I have been using it since it came out and never had an issue with it. It is made by Vibrant. If you get it just ensure you do not put pressure against the front of the belt it is designed to guide the belt and eliminate slap.

 

i got one 2 it helps to eliminate that slap. specialy when your motor is built and ready to do some runs.

 

I watched a b series on an engine dyno and the belt flapps quite a bit and I am supprised that people dont have more problems with timing belt jumps one or two tooths

 

reason why i got one.....its a VIBRANT doh!

 

i have been wondering about this product aswell. my timing belt has its fair share of slap/flex and im surprised it hasnt skipped any teeth yet. i think i might get me one for the upcoming season!!

 

i see it as extra safety, i have a vibrant one

 

Larry is making them now, they look good.
