I'm not really sure how a new timing belt is supposed to give you more power. You get a certain amount of performance at standard temperature and pressure, once you're outside those ranges, it can go up or down.
timing belts stretch over time. And mine was 30,000mi past due.
Rubber belts don't really stretch although timing chains will as they wear. The reason you change them is because they will just fail without warning, not slowly decrease engine performance as they wear.
Na,Timing belts do stretch. specially under high RPM ... with a timing light you can see the timing mark jump around when you rev up the engine,just as the timing chains.
