I plan to put on a 15% reduction pulley. Any suggestions on what belt to use? i have about 38,000 miles on my car now. Do I need a shorter one or will stock work fine?

I use the NAPA 060539 - One of their Micro-V belts. I have the Helix 15% pulley.

I've had it on for the last 10K miles and 20 track days or so. I would not recommend using a stock belt if you plan on doing any autox or track days.

Stock will work fine for a 15%. However, I do recommend that you change it while you have the pulley off. Might as well spend the 12 bucks to put a new fresh belt on.
