Re: Is this timing belt ----?
in the explanation, it says the belts are tested at 6000rpm at 212 degrees.
how many people limit their revs to 6000 rpm?
I personally revs to 9600 rpms and my engine temps at 215, and egt temps at 1500deg
aggressive camshafts and stiiffer valve springs and high boost, so I would not want to use a best with such low ratings. I uses a OEM belt but it worries me sometimes so I am thinking of getting a greddy, I used one on my b16 setup and I was comfortable with it.
plus also said the belts are made in JAPAN but on the belts it says made in USA. too fishy.

Seeing as how the stress your belt undergoes isn't anything compared to the large handful of cars spinning 12K, I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Is this timing belt ----?
I'll put in my two cents here, I have two choices that I always use when I replace my timing belts every season, along with all my friends dont dont have their own tools. I use TRUST belts and also GATES, But like I said I change mine out every season.
