Default New belt?

Do I need a new (smaller) belt after I install my Steeda Underdrive Pulleys? If so what size?
Thanks

Thanks. I'll let you know if I notice anything. I'll be putting them on in a few days. Not really expecting to feel a noticeable difference. Did you feel a difference?

It depends on how hard you drive.

If you are the sort that always shifts at under 3500 rpm, and rarely goes above 3/4 throttle, you won't notice much--OTH if you are the sort that launches briskly, and hits 4500+ rpm routinely you will feel you got your money's worth...

That said, I LIKE 'em!
