Default Comptech Supercharger VS Jackson Racing Supercharger

What supercharger is better?

but when i was on jackson site they only show a supercharger for 02-04
no 05 and 06 does anyone know of they are making them

The only upside to the Comptech is that if you get it installed by Acura, supposedly it is still covered by factory warranty. But if you want performance get the Jackson racing. It gives better hp gains and comes with an optional k-pro that you can tune. Even the website says that the Comptec only gives 40 to 50 hp gains and the JR site has a dyno sheet showing 250 hp and they have a boost pulley upgrade for up to 280 hp. I would go Jackson Racing.

Are they the same blower size? Like M45 or M60? If so then I would probably get the Jackson one. Most likely both the blowers come from the exact same place. The Jackson comes with a K-pro thats pretuned, just like the Comptech comes pretuned, however the K-Pro allows for alot more upgrades later on.

So all in all they are probably equal kits, I would go with the cheaper one....which would allow you to buy like a new header and exhaust to compliment the supercharger.
