I CANT MAKE A DECISION!!! Jrsc or edelbrock. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I know, there are a million threads on the subject. I have spent countless hours researching, watching videos, talking to people, etc. But I just cannot decide on Edelbrock or Jackson racing supercharger. My car currently is running catless UEL and OFT tune.

My car is my daily driver, not really ever planning on taking it to the track, just want some more power. In the future maybe planning on running e85, but not planning on making huge horsepower otherwise I'd go turbo.

Love how the Jackson still keeps the cars stock character where as you still need to rev the shit out of it to make power.

The feeling of merging into traffic without having to rev to 6 k with the low end torque from the Edelbrock does sound nice, but really changes the cars feel.

The noises and power delivery from the Jackson is fun, and exciting.
The low end, off the line ripping torque from the Edelbrock is great for the street.

I just can't make a decision!!! What are your opinions?

If you really want a dd supercharger, the edelbrock kit is hard to beat. Nicer looking as well!

Find a reputable tuner and have a chat with them, they're as much a part of the equation as the kit itself.

Those are two of the longest running companies there are. You just have to decide if you want low down torque or not.

1 vote for JRSC because the Jackson still keeps the cars stock character where as you still need to rev the shit out of it to make power.

You can't go wrong either way...you've already narrowed it down to the best 2 units on the market currently.

Harrop. It uses the same blower as the Edelbrock but in a better (IMO) designed manifold. It's lighter, lower, has better cooling, better flow, doesn't need a 'D-box' to fix the MAF issues the Edelbrock setup causes.

Not having to sweat CARB, I'd be torn between JR and Harrop.

Jackson racing, 100%. You really can't go wrong though, you're overthinking it.
