The so-called "interval" should be 130K+ ...evidence of that is overwhelming.
This is true. ^

I would rate the 3.4's timing belt life at roughly 120k, easilly. Considering your belt has 75k on it now, I'd easily run it another 40-45k no sweat. That is, of course, if don't have any other timing belt related parts failure(s) beforehand like pulleys/idlers, water pump, tensioner, crank or cam seals, etc.
