Default Harmonic balancer question

For an all motor soon to add nitrous 08 A6 Vette. How much under drive do i want on this balancer. Also im assuming the length of the belt changes. How do I know which belt to purchase?

When you purchase the balancer the manufacturer will provide the belt information. As far what size under drive most go with -10% but it all depends on who you ask, me zero underdrive OEM size will do.
