Around town power: Roots

Best drag times: Vortech

If you decide centrifugal just get a turbo instead.

If I remember correctly, the jrsc gsr did a faster quartermile time than the vortech.

i did research on this awhile ago. i forgot what the reason that came up are, but i remember something like the vortech is really bad compared to the JRSC. Im not sure if its for imports vs domestic, or it couldve been its bad for a LS which i have. I might be posting some info that has no use to you, sorry if this doesnt help at all.

Definetly go w/the jrsc. This will give you way more power w/out really changing your stock internals. It runs fine w/new plugs and wires(upgraded of course). Basically, it's cheaper, and it's not so hard on your engine. I've been researching this for the last 3 months or so and Turbos can definetly give you more power than a supercharger but it will also cost you way more, and you will have to fine tune it to put up better numbers than the jrsc.

I am saleing my JRSC now, had it for a while and ran 10 psi, it is fast, vortech sucks, either go w/ Jackson or turbo it, I am going turbo becaus I want more power, but everyday driving JR is good, I have a Delsol w/ GSR and JRSC @ 10psi and was running w/ the new lightings, and smoked GT's all day

Vortech = Supercharger with turbo style lag... either go with the JRSC or go turbo. If you look at any dyno plot from the vortec, you'll see that it has great peak numbers, but no low and not very significant midrange... IMO, they just aren't right for small displacement engines.

Go with jrsc. My buddys LS has a vortech kit on, no low end its all peak power. Its just a shaft driven turbocharger.

Jackson. The vortech doesnt make peak boost until redline. I have run 12's with my JRSC.

I'd go with Jackson Racing, it is known to be more reliable than others like Vortech.

Why not go turbo though?
