Default OEM timing belt kit vs. aftermarket

Does anyone have any opinions on a aftermarket performance kit like this:
http://www.prostreetonline.com/buy/p...s/fjj-003-lex/

vs oem parts. I think this one is supposed to be more efficent, less power loss, and push more coolant thru (in regards to the waterpump that is).

Dunno anything about that kit, but you can't have it both ways.

Either there is less power loss, or more coolant is pushed thru. Simple physics.

Why do you belive you need more coolant pushed thru? Are you running hot - or anticipate a heat gain from other mods?

No, actually was more interested in less power loss thru the pump.
