No you will not need a new belt. Aren't the trickflow UDPs crank pulley a piggy back pulley?

Yes they are. You'll still get decent power from them w/ a tune BUT if they were Steeda pulley's, or any other system w/ a new harmonic balancer, they would get you better power. Plus w/ a piggyback you need to look out cuz u may ruin ur crank.

Gains are the same both do the same job just in a different design(even though the gains aren't amazing). Theres plenty of people who run piggyback pulleys and not had a problem but some do.

Throw 'em on dude who cares. I've just "heard" those things and haven't seen proof.

I have 2 friends with blown motors because the piggy back pulleys shattered the oil pump gears.

I can tell you from experience that you won't notice much if anything from UD pulleys. Also, if you ever decide to do a blower like I want to do, you'll be ripping them back off anyway. If I could do it again, I would've gone with something else.
