Yes, Yes & Yes...
Yes you need a different length belt - usually from the underdrive pulley supplier.

Yes a novice can do it if you have a new bolt, Loctite and a good torque wrench.

Yes you can feel the difference but only at low to medium engine speeds. They say about 5 HP max.

Two points of reference: A) don't buy a cheap pulley with large "open" section & thin arms - they break, and B) you lose the engine TDC timing hole drilled in the original solid pulley.
