Uhhhh... yeah, you definitely will want to prime it you will have no carbonation. But, to help you out we need to know which New Belgium beer you are cloning. Whatever style (or closest to one) that beer is a clone for could dictate how much priming sugar to use.
"A bad man is a good man's job, while a good man is a bad man's teacher."
Always prime. Bottling, I assume? Use 3/4 cup corn sugar per 5 gallons, or 5/8 cup regular white table sugar per 5 gallons, which works just as well and is cheaper.

Some would say yes. I would say no. I have brewed over 80 batches using volumetric means of priming sugar measurement for every one. I think measuring by volume is just fine. Go by what I said and you'll be fine.
