Who makes the best timing chain?

At one point, Speed Pro came out with a premium quality "link belt" timing set for racing use, it had heat treated steel gears and a premium chain. I know Speed Pro did not make it, not sure if it was a Borg Warner or another brand, Kevin would probably know. It was, however, more expensive than even a Cloyes Tru-Roller, which has been the "gold standard" for decades. Between the reluctance to put a "stock" timing set on a race engine, and the higher price, it did not sell well and they gave up on it quickly.

Yes, Grump ran a stock GM timing set for years, right up until the Jesel came out. It was a little known "hot setup" for a while.
