In august of 2008 I made a decision that was financially ridiculous, but my fun factor skyrocketed. I decided to treat Angel to a 2.1 Kenne Bell Blowzilla supercharger. I get asked how much the supercharger cost. That's no simple question. Yes, the supercharger alone cost roughly 3400, but everything else I did to go along with the supercharger probably cost me another 3k easily, and it would've been 4-5k if I'd decided to put new cylinder heads on the 5.0 as well. My friend's dad owned a repair shop, so they let me keep Angel there while I did my work. But I know you don't want to read anymore...so here are pics of the installation:

| It's only slightly bigger than stock |
 |
| Bright green 42 lb-ers will put a smile on anyone's face! |
 |
| The "BoneYard" all of the stock parts are now useless. |
 |
| Here is my roommate trying to siphon gas out of my tank so we could lower it and put the 255 pump in. His air hose idea didn't work, and I ended up sucking gas out the classic way. Mmmm gas.... |
 |
| It's oh-so-shiny and new! |
 |
| To understand the irony of this picture, you'd have to look at CeetWarrior's channel on Youtube. He has a picture of himself doing this when he put his KB on, so I just wanted to poke a little fun at him! |

Now I had the Kenne Bell installed, but I still couldn't have my fun. i had removed the stock exhaust manifolds and bought some Summit Racing long-tube headers, where my roommate and I built the rest of my exhaust system around....but that story will wait for another day.
