Ok im running toda c, toda valve spring, toda gears, and retainers. My question is, it is advised to use toda timing belt as its stronger etc. I am currently running a oem timing belt that has been replaced roughly 10 to 20 kms ago. What is the chance of it snapping? Also whats the negative of running oem with the mods, and do I "HAVE" to get a toda belt or a aftermarket belt?

Save your money untill it's time to change your belt.
Keep an eye on what you've got... However, It should be fine...
If you sustain 9,000rpm or more, use the heavy duty oil pump gear & belt...
If not, don't worry....

Generally, Honda motors are "interference" motors - that is, they are designed so that, without a timing belt, pistons and valves will hit each other - so even at 1000rpm it would spell disaster :)
