Timing set options ?

OK since the pistons are going to be switched out for the H395P030 to get a better comp ratio. I might as well get a decent timing set to replace the OEM (POS) that came with the kit. So I'z wondering Cloyes original or Ford Racing 62.00? Other ?
Opinions ?________________

Barry recommended the Cloyes True Roller timing chain sets, even when he worked at Federal Mogul that is what he bought.

I got a older Rollmaster set with the good German made IWIS or EWIS (LOL) chain and billet gears. Before that I've always used the Cloyes sets which have been very good. You have to watch where the chains are made. Like everything else you'll see it stamped on the chain. They have ALL been found to have lesser quality chains over the last few years.

I think the last Cloyes I have the chain was from Japan. Quality was ok. I've heard they went to a different chain so I'm not exactly sure what you'd see on them now. But let me know!!
