$200,000 Billet Supercharger?

[Buns]

In this Competition Plus article, Ed Hoover mentions some Pro Mod's having $200K billet superchargers. I had no idea that a supercharger alone could fetch that kind of price. Who makes such a beast? Or is it just a typo?

Either way, Pro Mod is a rich mans game these days.

Methinks there's one too many zeros in there. I've heard the 20K figure tossed around for blowers the top teams are using. Dang...ain't that expensive enough for a huffer?

I think the figure was thrown out "tongue in cheek". Kinda like a "million dollar baby."

My kid was a prefect at his boarding school. He had 8 - 3rd formers under his charge.

Who is making those Bruce? I remember back in the 90's everyone had to have an SSI, are they even still in business?
