I was going through their site and saw this video. Not a bad comparison.

the Skunk2 tensioner has been on backorder since August 2010 and there's no word yet on when the next production run will be.

the Hybrid Racing Tensioner is also a good product but costs about twice...

Hondata runs the Skunk2 tensioner on their land speed record cars.  Hybrid Racing is a great company to deal with.  I bought a fuel rail from them and they have the best customer service I've dealt with in a long time.

yeah its pretty swt. There was another video where people were saying skunk2 did a bias review and what not. The owner was like don't hate. If our stuff is crap why didn't it break on the hondata car, while oem and another company broke on the dyno.

Good stuff.

Too bad they don't make more stuff for the J series.

They won't make stuff for the J Series because there isn't the interest.  While Skunk2 makes pretty good stuff, I feel that they are too big of a company and you're not going to get good service once they get your money.  When I ordered something from Hybrid Racing, I got an email from one of the people there (not an automatically generated email) asking about my car and offering additional service.  The fact that they expressed genuine interest in me as a customer was pretty cool.  It's something that is rare when I've dealt with other companies.  When I had a problem with my order and something was missing, they took care of it within a few hours.
