No, you want to start with a lot less. I don't have an exact number, but I would guess 2-3%. The belting is much less stretchy and stays much tighter in place.
You can always cut more off later, but putting an extension onto an existing belt isn't as fun / clean. You can even weld these belts in place if you have some clamps and apply plenty of extra tension to the opposite side.
