x3 agreed
if you want to go supercharged do custom. otherwise not worth the money IMO
buddy had a d series supercharged, was not impressed. not much hp/speed gain and at high rpms it fell flat on its face. i prefer plain vtec to JRSC.

you can have VTEC and SC or Turbo...

@OP it has no boost lag. But it wont make much power. Do a custom setup with a different SC. A JRSC is a simple mod that will be fun for the car if its your DD. But it wont go that fast lol. Unless your getting a deal on the JRSC its not worth it @ MSRP.

I know you think that superchargers are the way to go, but honestly, i've ridden in a few and disliked them. My last setup (GT3255b @10.5psi, stock GSR, etc...) made 315whp/216wtq and was a blast on the street. The turbo would start spooling around 2800rpm and hit full boost around 37-3900rpm. It was VERY streetable and made plenty of power without falling off in the upper RPMs like an SC. It made 200+wtq from 5-8500rpm.

I'll i'm basically saying is check out a few turbo setups geared towards street use before you commit to a sub-par supercharger setup.
