when I originally bought the pulley I asked the manufacturer about changing the belt and they said no it doesnt need to be changed, I have read many threads on it while waiting to install it and some people said they used a slightly shorter belt and someone said they bought a shorter belt and it didn't fit so I left well enough alone and kept the original. It is working fine, spins without a problem as we started the car without the firewall on just to make sure. I can't say 100% if it's gained or lost power, but from the feel of it and I've been driving it for 9 months now ... I think I lost something yesterday. Would a shorter belt make a difference? anyone?
