I'm going to be using the gates timing belt when I rebuild my motor.
It seems to have great quality compared to stock and can withstand greater heat and stress

I have it on my car currently. IMO a waste of money. A timing belt is a timing belt. They'll all last the 60k miles. I'd only do it again if I had some super stiff valve springs.

i will be using the gates racing timing belt when i reinstally my freshly ported and polished cylinder head in my eyes a timing belt is a timing belt unless you are doing alot of performance mods. as for me the reason i went with gates racing is becasue im putting down 339hp and want something a little bit more than stock.

No not at all, Gates is a very well known and reputable brand for belts and hoses.
