Default JP Performance Timing chain set

Need a little help. I just purchased a JP Performance timing chain set from Scoggin Dickey. P/N is SD7140 through Scoggin Dickey, & on the box it says JP5618T. My question is how well does it hold up. I was told @ SDPC that its a very good chain & that they use it in some of their engines. However, I would like to hear from the people who have bought them, use them, & opinions good & bad. From the little I could find on it, the Aussies seem to like it.

After using them on dozens of customers' engines, I really liked them and put one in my car when I built the engine. I went with a single roller because I didn't want to deal with clearancing the front cover.

I install 20-30 JP timing sets a year. Never had one problem and it's a very nice piece for the $ spent.

I installed a JP timing set in my engine 30,000 miles ago and so far I've have no problems.
