Doesn't Est. 180 horsepower at the tire seem a bit low for a JH with a super charger?

I seem to remember a few stories about this car showing up on the old board.  Can't be too many JHs w/ a Supercharger!

180hp at the Rear wheels is probably correct.  Assume 15% drivetrain loss, and it's a 200+hp engine.  My Mercedes C230 Kompressor specs 180hp/200ft-lbs.

I'd be curious to see what 'race cams' are in it.  Usually a supercharger is employed to boost low-end torque.  If 104's were installed on exhaust, I'd be real curious as to what the torque/hp curve looks like.
