Whats the benefit in having the racing belt vs OEM?

This is off the website.....

Gates' timing belts offer a precision fit with easy installation and no interference engine damage - exactly what you've come to expect from the worldwide leader in timing belts.

- Tensile cord reinforced with premium, high-strength glass cords
- Gripping teeth with aramid fiber technology and high saturation HNBR elastomeric composites for exceptional durability and heat resistance
- Wear-resistant tooth jacket supported by reinforced nylon fabric and double-tooth stability

The superior construction of Gates timing belts makes them 300 percent stronger than the standard aftermarket belt while providing up to three times the heat resistance.

And this is from a Gates rep from a previous thread.....

This is pretty much the best way to look at it. The racing belt will be stronger than the OE belt by an OBSCENE amount. The original OE belt construction called for a high temp version of standard Neoprene rubber, something that was probably considered cutting edge in the early 80s when the belt was initially going into production but today it falls woefully short of modern expectations. This is something I try to stress to people when they are considering an aftermarket vs. OE belt. In the aftermarket we are not limited by the OE recipe, so to speak. We use it as a starting point, but if a better construction method or materials come along, then we can make changes to the product line that reflect that. Buying the OE timing belt just means you’re buying 1980s chemistry, but this is the 21st century. Also, incidentally, Gates was OE on this belt out of our plant in Aachen, not Contitech. Conti gets a lot of credit for being OE on European applications that are actually Gates OE projects. I guess because they are a European brand so people assume they are OE on everything European?

But I’m digressing, so let me get back to the point. The racing belt we will make is going to be a whole heap stronger than the OE belt. Better rubber, better cure process, better tensile cord, Kevlar reinforcement, the works. Static strength will be much increased. Even longevity should be increased, but that’s where I have to qualify my statement. Because this is not the OE belt, and we assume you guys are putting this belt on vehicles that have been modified, it is nearly impossible for me to give you a standard replacement interval. There are too many variables: modifications, different engine outputs, different uses/driving habits. Obviously a guy who leaves the car nearly stock and drives to church on Sunday is going to see more belt life than a guy who puts a huge blower on the engine, maybe a squirt of nitrous, a flux capacitor, a warp drive, etc etc.
