Does a timing belt kit from ecs tuning increase horsepower/torque? I got the most expensive one the ultimate kit with the gates racing belt. Thanks for your help!

Yep, but you have to make sure the belt is facing the correct way, writing facing the front.

Okay well my buddy is helping me do it and he should know that but thanks for the heads up if there is anything else i should know please tell me haha and what kinda gains like 10 horsepower and torque or what haha ?

He was busting your *****. Unless your car is out of time now, a new belt will not make a damn difference. As for the work, make sure to use a cam lock bar, and pop the cam sprockets off in order to properly tension the belt.

Yeah the schwaben cam lock keys or whatever come with the kit so i should be fine i just dont wanna mess anything up i just bought the car a month ago and its got 85 thousand on it it took me over a year to find a decent one for a good price and then this happened it started to overheat so i think it was the thermostat and water pump so i figured might as well do the whole thing with the timing belt and all

Fill the radiator with flush in concentrate for 1/2 hour or so while you change your timing belt. Use the sprayer on a garden hose to wash out the residual in both directions. Also hose down the fins from both sides to clean the exterior of the radiator.

I noticed a huge diffence on mine,
