you upgrade the SC pulley to a smaller one

the crank pulley on the engine needs to stay the same diameter - so the KJR pulley for example would be a good one if you're wanting to upgrade the crank pulley. Just stay away from the UR crank pulley if you're using a SC

Some will disagree, but you definately want to stay away from any sort of unbalanced crank pully. The small hp gains are not worth the blown engine that too many guys have had as a result of running FI with an unbalanced pulley.

Just my $.02

I know that the Unorthodox Racing crank pulley isn't balanced. The KJR pulley claims to be, but I don't know if I'd risk it. Going FI just puts too much of a strain on your engine to risk it for something so small...

In any case, of the two I'd definately go with the KJR from the claims that it's OEM size. BUT, I'd only go there if you're not going FI...

Again, just my $.02

I dunno, there's been guys who have cracked the stock pulley - with a turbo no less, so there wasn't even a big SC belt. One of them lives not too far from me

^^^ for 5AT, all you need is a Valve Body upgrade - look at Stillen VB, or the newcomer - SGP VB. the latter will be a much more aggressive VB mod, the shifts will be a LOT harder.
