I decided JRSC 4 years ago, no regrets. I prefer increasing torque curve of Rotrex compressor. I think the high low-end torque is only good for casual driving and drag racing. I prefer not wasting gas and stressing the engine for grocery shopping. Power is there when I need it with just a downshift. The continuously increasing torque gives a much steeper power increase with rpm. Whole rpm range is useful, especially before the redline. There is no power plateau before the redline. The car feels like it will accelerate more if it can go over the redline. I need to downshift and upshift at the right moment, otherwise the engine let's me know what a sucker I am. I like the rewarding and punishing character of the JRSC engine just like a sports car needs to be.
