prochargers will put out more hp and at lower compression ratios have high boost pressures (psi) more than you could imagine running with a jrsc.

basicly you could say that a procharger kit would be more of a ''built block'' supercharger kit. it can make more power and make more psi so needed forged pistons high lift cams and whatnot more of a ''needed'' thnig.

instead a Jackson racing SC is more of a bolt on and go. they can really make a insane ammount of power to need the use of forged internals or all kinds of extra bolt ons and whatnot. basicly bolt and go...... but you will have people who do. do built up block with the jrsc its a matter of prefrence.

a 92-95 jdm b16 out of a sir is 168hp and 113tq you are correct the newer b16 have less horsepower and torque. the older 92-95 b16 have higher compression

also are we talking flywheel horsepower or wheel horsepower.... normally turbo or SC you are looking at around 100whp extra with moderate boost pressures on a stock block... if you say that the wheel horsepower a b16 makes is like 140 add 100whp from sc you are looking at 240whp... its not that hard to make the power, it just depends on your supporting modifications
