First of all SR vs KA is an age old debate. In my opinion both engines are very good and both engines have their pluses and minuses. The bottom line is SR is an engine for novice tuners since it is a drop in and go KA is an engine for tuners with more advanced technical skills since it requires more maintenance and tuning. So the desicion is up to you: if you feel comfortable with boosting KA then go for it, but if you want a little less headache then go with SR. In either case do your research first. Hope that helps a little.
