anyone here ever used these? I know greddy makes one, and I think some other companies make them too. Pros/Cons?

 

Power Enterprises
Toda

pro: dont snap a timing belt during a high rev situation
con: none, unless you consider installation a con

 

Cons: Cost

Otherwise, if you can afford it, it is always good to run one with high lift cams.

but all good things come at a price

 

So unless you rev high, there are no benefits to running an aftermarket timing belt? Would they be less likely to jump? The time to replace my stocker is coming up, so I'm just seeing what my options are... Thanks

 

oem is about half price of greddy and whatever.. I don't plan on using a 'high performance' timing belt for a whiiiile.

 

Might as well do it - they are stiffer supposedly and stronger so less likely to stretch at higher rpms. So that makes them less likely to wear down quicker than stock and less likely to jump if that answers your question. I know the toda one proposes its 200% more stronger over OEM
