Belt's help absorb harmonics, usually take a tiny amount less power to run but most importantly they won't go into 'Cordual action' like a chain. basically a chain will want to start whipping around in an 'S' shape to a certain degree, that of coarse throws the timing/valve events off, in relation to the crank at higher RPM. don't have time to get into it any more than that right now, felt it at least deserved a quick reply for now.
