They both suck. The JRSC was nice because it gave me B16 some nice low end kick, but it wasn't very fast. Bought a vortech. Low end kick? Gone. High end pull was moderate, but felt very sluggish. Sold it because it didn't make dick for low end, went turbo, never been happier.

I've actually experienced both. The JR one was on an IT-R and wasn't as great as the Vortech SC with the PowerCooler that I got to test on a 99 Civic Si. Low-end from the Vortech was awesome. It had lots of torque and the wheels would loose traction easily. The Vortech one I got to drive had a 10 psi pulley. That Civic actually felt much stronger than the IT-R.
