ar the gates racing belts worth the extra money? do they last longer? or are they just stronger?

Incredibly strong, extremely heat resistant. Tough enough to take the worst pummeling your engine can dish out. No other belts help protect your engine and deliver high performance like Gates Racing Performance Timing Belts.

Yes, the color gives you a hot custom look. But look deeper. Constructed of HNBR elastomeric composites, Gates Racing Performance Timing Belts are 300% stronger than stock belts and deliver up to three times the heat resistance. You can count on them to hold up to the rigors of high horsepower, even with interference engines.

If ANY timing belt slipped; you have problems...

That's a hell of a sales pitch, but I've been told they are identical to OEM only blingtastic blue. Never compared the two though, because I would never pay a premium for the gates.

I stay away from no-name parts store brand t-belts, only OEM (usually cheaper to)

theres alot that goes into timing belts that most of you probably dont know...

i run the gates racing one..and yes it is constructed differently than the regular gates/oem belt. a regular timing belt will work just fine too though.
