Which timing set for 355 H/C As the title says I am looking for a reliable timing set for a 1995 355 H/C application, retaining the stock water pump.. I was originally looking at the Extreme duty set... but after reading this http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/arch.../t-278981.html I am trying to look at other options.. Would running a regular stock replacement set equal catastrophic failure? I would shoot myself if my engine got F'd up because of a timing set failure.. What timing sets do you guys with ~400rwhp and stock WP use?

The more reading I do, the more I am leaning towards a stock replacement.. This is a DD more than a race car. How many guys out there are using the stock replacement set on H/C set ups?

After reading this thread I am even closer to ordering a stock replacement.

Either. I prefer the Cloyes stuff tho for a higher hp build. The billet sprockets are a little more robust, although you don't hear of too many sprocket issues with the GM stuff... lol

For a dd setup I would just stick with a stock style chain and keep the stock wp. I went with the cloyes double roller years ago because I wanted an ewp anyway and it's not a dd. It a very nice, strong timing set and was under $100.
