It depends on the supercharger, yes in most cases a smaller pulley can be used. However most of the time only about 4 psi increase is usualy pushing the max on any givin blower. Like I said it depends on the unit. Also more fuel would be needed and a tune as well. I am not positive but 11psi may be a little much for factory motor......but then again I've seen some fords hold up to stuff they werent suposed to.

+1 You can maybe bump it up a few PSI but if your talking 11 PSI your going to need new lowers on that one...
