I noticed that you have a vortech on your mustang. The thing is that those kits are cheap because of demand. A viper package for a supercharger will run you $6.500 plus a tune you will be lookin at $7,500 and that is not with instal. Now put a turbo in that mix and just the kit will run you 10k. Instal and tune will easily bump you to almost the 20k mark if it is done right.
When you start dealing with parts that are low volume the price goes way up. That is one thing I always enjoyed about my Saleen S281 SC that I owned. If you wanted headers for the cobra motor or anything else it was easy and cheap to get.
In the end I guess you have to look at it this way. The more it is done the cheaper it gets. Also could you imagine the hp gains with a supercharger now that those mods are done. If I was going to do a supercharger or custom turbo kit I would change the stock pistons as well before I did it.
