I agree Gates belts are top quality, but you're misinforming him about the part number he needs. He's got an SC400!

buy the OEM toyota belt.
The next step up from that is probably a GReddy/TRUST.
PowerEnterprise and HKS are the same belt, except one is blue and one is purple.
^ I have seen them side by side.
