Considering the horror stories coming from people buying JRSC, I would never even consider one even if they were a good idea on a 4 cylinder engine to begin with. Yeah, they have a 100k mile warranty, but how many calls, flaming hoops, and hassles would you have to go through to fulfill that warranty due to the awful customer service over at Jackson Racing. I have a Greddy kit and I don't doubt their service would be just as bad, if not worse. But they have an excuse: they are a completely Japanese company who works through dealers, not customers. Where is Jackson Racing's excuse?
