also important to note: i'm pretty sure the stock SR p/s pulley has a smaller diameter than the KA p/s pulley. by using the KA p/s pulley on your SR, you'll effectively be underdriving your pump a bit. not a big deal, especially if you're revving it high on a regular basis. less load on the engine and fewer cavitation worries to name a couple pluses. a bit more driver input might be needed, but nothing compared to a de-powered setup.

Sure, figured Id include the link in here just incase because we already came to the conclusion that a KA pulley can be used and verified multiple people have it that way .

Honestly, I didnt use the KA pulley that way because a couple of my friends ran it with the KA Pulley and their belts life did not last long / popped multiple times in a year even after making sure its not over tightened and not too loose . Then again I know some people who run it like that and havent had problems.
