Never had a supercharged mustang, but I would be willing to bet that by the time you factory in a complete turbo system against a supercharger, headers, and h-pipe the costs for both would be pretty close.

Well, that is a good point, but most of us already have the exhaust before we buy a poweradder....I did, usually when you start you don't hink about a poweradder so you start at the right place....exhause, gears, etc....I see your point though. Here is what a typical blower costs.
S-Trim $3200 8-14 psi +/- 350-450hp
Procharger $3100 14 psi +/- 450 hp (includes Intercooler)
Ignition $500
Headers $200
H-pipe $120
$4020
Here is the kit for a Turbo
TDK $3995 +/- 350hp (Includes headers and X-Pipe and Intercooler)
Ignition $500
$4495
IMO that isn't a very good competetive price, for the amount of horsepower differences. TDK also has a 500 hp kit for $4500 but then we are talking a rebuild, and that isn't what I am talking about.....but I am bias I guess
I do see your point though
