Default JR supercharger - worth it or not?

I currently drive a 95 civic ex sedan. Unfortunately its an automatic, but i would still like to give it a little more power.

Is the JR supercharger worth the money?

current mods
- generic short ram intake
- DC 4-2-1 one piece header
- SPW muffler with mandrel bent car-back 2.25" piping

and no i don't feel like doin an auto-to-manual conversion or getting a swap. I just want to know if i would feel a big difference in power with the sc. Thanks in advance.

Wrong the Make a JRSC For the D16's, and it can be worth it, if u pick up a used one cheap

It will fit fine, u only get about 140ish to 150ish power with the stock pullie, even with the 10 psi pully u will see around 160ish to 170ish to the wheels and at 10 psi pully ur auto will die along with ur engine, if it's not build
Swap to a 5 speed and boost it
or just swap the motor

i know you don't wanna hear this, but....get a manual swap first. Also the JRSC isn't worth it at all unless you find a good deal on one used. Turbo is way better on that motor.

I love my JRSC, I got it for a great deal and it was worth every cent to me....

But for you? It's all up to you what you want to do with your car....
