Gates vs Gatorback timing belts

Is one much better than the other?

Probably not. Go Gates or OEM

I have always used gates or OEM. Don't waste money on the blue gates racing one though.

My experience has been gatorback does not stretch as much as gates does.

Glad I posted this, the vendors brag up the blue Gates racing one like it's made of gold.

Repeat runs to 10800 RPM (no not a miata) and a gates blue timing belt has never let me down.
