Default timing belt/w-pump-tensioner

Who sells a decent timing belt kit?
I like to save a little money if possible.
Can anyone direct me?
Thanks...

FCPGroton has a good kit, and it's also the least expensive that I have seen. For a water pump, everyone pretty much recommends the Hepu.

That's the one I was thinking about getting. I don't race my brick, but I don't want to have to worry about it either.

This is not the place to save money. I bought the kit from IPD that comes with the belt, idler, and tensioner. They have a kit with all oem parts. I also bought a water pump after finding out the pump is driven off the timing belt, is a bastard to replace, and should be done every other timing belt (140,000 miles here).

My timing belt idler bearing was starting to feel a little sandy and the water pump bearing was starting to get a little funny as well so I'm glad i changed them.
