As I am putting together this build sheet and look to the timing part it has left me curious what belt everyone else runs or prefers. This obviously depends on many different factors. Horsepower being one of the largest.

So I present the question:

Which timing belt do you run?

I know Kevlar belts are a big plus for not stretching such as the OEM belts do. With the exception of the OEM Kevlar backed Evo. IX timing belt 1145A038.

Many people like the Gates racing T167RB1 and/or the "alleged" relabeled Power Enterprise belt. I also hear a lot about the (in my opinion), overpriced Greddy 13534500. I haven't heard many but I do recall some people saying they go for the above mentioned Evo. IX belt as a cheaper alternative to the "expensive" racing timing belts out there.

Anyway, I'm curious to hear what everyone else runs. Thanks for reading!
