Default Gates hoses and belts - Are their B16a2 timing belts rated to 8000 rpm?

Rebuilding a stock b16a2. I can get discounts on gates products and I know theyre a good brand. I'm just looking for opinions because I don't know if gates rates their timing belts to rev at 8000 rpm.

Gates is OEM honda. The last belt I bought from a local dealership actually had both Honda and Gates stamps on it.

well, i ended up getting a Honda timing belt for dirt cheap from the dealership. saved me a trip back to my work. I'm still going with the Gates hoses. I'm still wondering, though, because I could pocket an extra 20 if I decide on the Gates. I just figure, you can't go wrong with oem.

P.S. see you edit my headline. thanks
