Lower crank pulley help

who knows if the lightning lower crank pulley for increasing boost will fit newer ford trucks like my 07 f150 roush, some ppl say they do fit just want to verify if they will, can anyone help me out?
or if anyone knows where i can get one speacialy for roush trucks let me know where?
how much rwhp have u guys seen on a roush charged f150 runing 10pounds of boost?

Yes, the lightning overdrive pulleys will work with the Roush supercharger. Do a search for Metco, they make them. Troyer Performance has them. You're not going to get away with 10 lbs. of boost without a better fuel system. You're getting close to the design limits of this engine with that much boost, if you solve the fuel delivery issue.

You might want to look at the +2 pulley, but you're going to need some custom tuning. This setup is quite bit lighter than the Roush pulley system.

If the aftermarket pulley will bolt up, I'm not sure, I believe you will have to ask for adapter ring that all of us 5.4 2V NA guys had to use when we used the 01-04 L lowers. The factory 99-00 L's had NA dampers, the 01-04 had a damper with a larger diameter flange which centers the lower pulley. METCO will have one!
