Main thing to keep in mind is your shift points. The s15 SR tranny is a six speed, with more gears packed between the same first and sixth ratios. IMHO, the KA has a broad enough power band that you would just be wasting time shifting when you don't need to.

Be careful about the "six speed tranny is weak" debate. I haven't yet seen evidence that it's really any weaker than the five speeds (granted, haven't looked :P ), just that it packs more gears into the same range.
