Default Timing belt Question

I have owned corvettes with Timing chains forever and now put my baby in storage for 2006 LS ultra luxury with 91k miles. What kit do you guys buy for the belt replacement? Just belt and pump? or I found a 2 kits on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Aisin-TKT-001.../dp/B00AFYE6B0

https://www.amazon.com/Timing-Belt-L.../dp/B00796KI5U

One is $40 cheaper, what do you guys go with, I love this car and want to keep it in top notch shape.

Aisin TKT021 $165.99 Rock Auto + Freight.

I used this kit from rockauto.com with no issues...... Almost 2 years and 45,000 miles ago....

Tkt-021

The kit I bought. I bought the thermostat and gasket at my dealer when I bought coolant.

I also replace spark plugs at the same time.


At 112k my water pump leaked a little, but the crank and cam seals were in great shape.

Those kit prices are high, and more than you need. This > with idler and tensioner. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EEYWKI...=I3H0JBD5VDIGQ
