I am using the earlier v1/2 metal pulleys on my v3 for peace of mind as in the past I have had a plastic pulley smash itself bending valves and what not

Just spoke with david at API, who said that it wont make a difference with the cam pulleys as they are designed for that engine.

Cam sensors are the same, apart from the very early Version 1 and some Legacys which had the wiring harness built onto them.
