Heck in the supercharger park they also bought B&M & Wieand they also bought out or bought the patents off Barry Grant for his demon carbs when they went bankrupt. seems like when you get all the brands you can under one company you can make the price what you want, especially when so many of these companies make the same type of products. I don't see any of these products getting less expensive since they have been bought, maybe "cheaper" if you know what I mean.
One of my friends works at Enersys batteries here in Missouri, I asked him about the Odyssey hotrod batteries they make there and he asked if that was the square ones they make or the 6 pack Optima ones they make! Competitors from the same company, even made in the same plant (very different quality between the two though)
