This image of easily the largest supercharger ever strapped to a car is real and in no way doctored. We salute these real gearheads of genius below.

When Mike Christensen says his Camaro had a big supercharger on it, he wasn't kidding. According to Mike, his dad came home from the junkyard one day with a supercharger so big they could only speculate it came off a locomotive engine (side note, we must know where this junkyard is — immediately). Being bored gearheads, and having a sweet first generation Camaro drag racer laying around, they decided to lash it onto the car's big V8. After custom fabricating intake manifolds, a special order supercharger belt, and quite a lot of tinkering, the engine actually fired up and when Mike blipped the throttle, he blew both head gaskets immediately. Here's video of him talking about it (about halfway through):


Here's to you Mike, a real gearhead of genius, we can only hope to one day equal your "mine is definitely bigger than yours" bat****-crazy mentality. Now once again, where's that junkyard? [Classic Nation]

Wow that was a insane wheelie! If he ever gets that supercharger to work, it would make the earth move!

With that much weight on the front, I can't see the front lifting off the ground.

how much power does the supercharge consume itself? Thats the problem with superchargers it requires a lot of power to make the power. There comes a point where the supercharger consumes more power than it gives back

Looks like s/c is made of hollow plastic.

back in the day we used to cut tunnel ram stacks in half and glue them to our hoods

Could someone even see out of the car with that thing?!?!?

I guess you dont need to steer the car when you only live life a 1/4 mile at a time. LOL
