Default gates racing timing belts - Are they worth it?

Found one for $85 shipped on ebay.

Any other options - I want to make sure this timing belt install gets done right.

Thanks!

what's wrong with an OEM timing belts?? I've seen many reviews from users about the TODA racing timing belts snapping or stretching causing jumps in timing (upon a relatively NEW installation, not a worn 120k mile belt)

Well, Gates makes the OEM belt, so I was wondering if this would be a good belt to use...Thats all.

Thanks for the info on the toda belts - I did not know of that issue.

I will go OEM as its cheaper as well - I would rather spend the money on I/H/E...
