No, original nitrous install was about $2600. The $5000 is additional dollars I am now spending, much of that on performance improvements. The cost of the nitrous upgrade is just under $500 and that includes purchasing another spare bottle so I don't need to get them filled as often.
The complete Dinan supercharger kit was over $11,000. The Dinan kit on the 4.6 increased HP to 451 at 6000 RPMs and 439 ft/lbs of torque at 4500 RPMs.
When I was looking at the Dinan package it had to be installed by an authorized Dinan shop. The installation cost was based on 27.6 labor hours.
The ESS supercharger kit from KO which is still available is just over $9000.
I purchase mods based on performance gain per dollar spent. Performance gain is based on how much the 0-60 time improves. The supercharger would have been more than 4 times the cost for less gain in performance.
I finished rewiring all the controls in the console last week. New boost gauge arrived a few minutes ago.
