Modern Performance just recently came out with this package this week. It is price pretty well in my opinion and gives you the option to choose between belts. I believe right now they just have it for the SRT4 but I would expect a base Neon package would be in the works as well. Check it out and this is a good deal if you are around 80k-120k in mileage.

$190..........extra for GATES Racing Belt +$19, MOPAR OEM belt +$45

1) Timing Belt (Your choice of belt- either Mopar OEM, Gates OEM style belt, or Gates RACING belt)
2) Mopar OEM Timing Belt Tensioner
3) PCI Idler bearing
4) Mopar OEM Water pump and Gasket

I'll be doing this later on in life.

why is the mopar one 45 bucks more?

Because it's mopar lol.

because OEM belts use old and/or outdated specifications and are not prone to price-drop after a while. Go for Gates, good price, great quality. I wouldn't know any arguments to go for the racing belt from Gates though....

Because it's blue. And said to be strong as hell.

Me too Nate. Once I near 80k ill be doing this with the Gates Racing timing Belt. I'll prob replace the cam gears at the same time. I'm thinking Fidanza.

I'm at 83k... o.O I'll have to do this pretty soon.

Man, I had a dream last night that I came out to my car and my T-belt was snapped/shredded. I just replaced it last year lol.

Reinforced cords will do the trick, shouldn't make it $ 45.- extra costs though

i'd buy it if it were 3x as bad and 10 times as expensive!!!

from my experience I highly recomend the race belt if your hitting 7000rpm or higher. Last year my Gatorback timing belt was deflecting at 8K rpm causing timing issues. A code would actually come up stating the cam jumped time.
Once I installed a Gates racing belt I was able to lay on 8K rpm all day long without timing issues as shown here:

Battery light was on due to not having an alt belt installed....

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has dreams about his car.

bump for needing to change my timing belt and there not being a base model package on modern. suggestions on where to buy the belt and such?

Does partsdinosaur have kits for sohc?

Thats where I got the one for my dohc.

thnx for the quick response. i hadnt called modern yet since im not technically due for a belt change but its coming up.

I think Modern just has DOHC kits...

I will be doing this soon for the for my SXT...I already have a new belt, but would buy the kit cause I still need the water pump and the rest of the stuff. Might as well upgrade to a better belt while I am at it.
