I've done 2 Gates kits on my own cars, including waterpump, tensioner, belt, and all idlers and haven't had any issues.
I've also assisted with numerous other installs using the same gates parts on both DOHC and SOHC, and those cars have not had any issues (that were timing belt related)
I would also agree with Grant's statements re: "racing" kit with the blue paint. Unless you're doing some crazy wacko build, there's no need for it and could cause issues.
This is based on random internet postings. I've never used the "race" kit, but for those reasons.
