There is X amount of load on a timing belt. Adding bigger duration cams and valve springs will certainly add some to that figure - but there is no way in creation that you need "300% stronger". There are plenty of big power RBs and JZs running stock belts. There have been more complaints about noise from Gates belts than there have been reports of stock belts dieing young. -
Gates claims their belts are 300% stronger than oem, not sure what that means though. Does it mean that it will last longer? Doubt it, haven't looked into it but I imagine they also recommend changing it every 100,000km, so just a marketing gimmick in that case lol. -

Gates no better than Pitwork. These things only exist so that people can have different coloured silicone looking things to see through their clear timing covers. Fashion, not function.

The racing gates kits are popular to. People said they can be noisy but I haven't had any issues with mine. I imagine it's more an issue with belt tension.
