I have seen semi-high horse power aplications of timing belts, even a 350
v-8 chev/harley. My question is, has anyone ever seen a timing belt, say 1
1/4" wide, three hundred h.p. that uses a 90 degree twist in drive and
driven pulleys? Say drive is vert. and driven is horizontal.

You could look through some of the tech docs here

If you go to the belt type page you should be able to download technical
data for the belt type. I have used the Poly V belt design data before
and it seemed very comprehensive. From their details the largest section
can go upto 400kW and is capable of the drive type you want. Whether in
practice it can be made to work may depend on other factor such as
available space.
