my bad I assumed the sdce would have been the same. You are right after reading instructions it makes no mention of it.

The normal pulley from Procharger is 7.65" SDCE makes their own at 7.25" so the "ramp" of the belt doesn't contact the water pump.

is there a way to correct this issue without changing the Procharger pulley ? Can I just use another water pump pulley or will I need to change out the whole water pump

You'll have to replace the entire water pump to change the pulley. I've seen people get the stand off nut that's to the lower left of tensioner pulley machined and add a small idler pulley to deflect the belt down to miss the water pump.

Did you confirm what crank pulley you have ?

I have a complete offset ls2 corvette pump that comes with the asterbracket kit that I could sell if needed. The thermostat housing bolts were tapped to bigger size due to one bolt snapping at 11ft pounds. Should be zero issues
