Timing set recomendations

[BlackPearl955.0]

I need a new timing chain with crank and cam gear, the whole set. I do not want anything too technical, just a bolt and go part. However i want a upgrade from the stock chain and gears. If you have any recomendations or warnings, fill me in. autozone just has so many to choose from and I really do not know alot about specifics (all the ins and outs) reguarding timing chains. So I leave this decision mostly up to you guys. The car is curently making about 335hp and 360tq. Remember nothing too performance like where I would have to adjust anything and everything to get it on right but also not an OEM replacement, and lets face it we all like saving money and I am tapped out.
maybe it was all the parts I ordered this summer... or pizza(I love toppers, if you have one by you GO)?

Many have used the Ford Racing setup with success

IMHO, its fine for a street/strip combo as long as you don't turn
mega high rpm.

Ed C told me they would not survive in an application such as that

btw ... even the nicer sets with different settings are not anything
you could call technical. They just give you an option of running a
bit retarded or advanced with your cam timing.

I used a Rollmaster billet double chain setup on my 95. Very nice,
multi keyed crank gear, high rpm capable. It is the same setup
many of Ed C's racer buds run so you know it is top notch.

I have not priced them in a good while but they used to be about
a third more of the price you would pay for typical double roller
choices such as Ford, Cloyes, etc.

I just got one with my cam based on your (Grady) and Ed's recommendation. Cost me $135 shipped from FTI. Its pricey!

Well ... They have gone up since I did mine back in 2002

But then again

I took a quick look at Summit in the Cloyes line for double roller billet
sets and I only found one for 176 bux
