Hood isnt sitting right

Well after installing my vortech supercharger I think we set the car off the jack's the wrong way and now the drivers side of the hood sits a little lower than the fender and has a bigger gap than the pass. side and the pass. side is a little narrow and a little high. What could be done to fix this? Is it something I can do or should I take it to a body shop and see if they can adjust it? Hopefully not something too major.

Usually you can adjust the hood hinges. I've done it on a few cars and some were easy and some were next to impossible to get right. Make sure you have help; you don't want the hood slipping and cracking the windshield. I'd say give it a shot and if it isn't working out, head to a body shop. I bet they can take care of it for a very reasonable amount.
