stock/almost no modifications=stock belt

high revving motor=hks or gates

timing belt stretch only becomes an issue with high rpm and age. unless you are going to rev 12000rpm stick with stock. at those rev, not reliably possible on a 2jz, you have other upgrades to worry about

right i completly understand what your saying but in my case i am in need of tune up which would include a timing belt change. I am stock right now but within few months i plan on going boost with ported head and valve work so wouldnt it be a good idea since i am changing the belt now why not spend the extra cash (which isent that more more then oem) and get a good one ???
