Power Enterprise 'Super Strong' kevlar is probably what you want.

The amount of power you have has no effect on the timing belt. The only possible consideration might be the engines (and therefore the belts) ability to accelerate quicker.

The belts dont normally suffer from premature failure even running big HP - the tensioners can and do go weak if it is the original one and results in belt whip.

Standard type belt is fine for most applications, but they do tend to stretch over time, especially on engines with up rated valve springs.
