I haven't purchased or even knew this existed. And I would assume you would need a different size belt?
I would also think you'd need a custom tune to get the best benefit from the pulley.
My cousin tried the "canned" SCT livewire tunes to try and get more power out of his '08 and it woudln't work. I think it was due to the Saleen flash already in the PCM.

I called Jim Jr. at JDM and he said the kit Saleen was offering was their kit. The kit consists of: 3.2 Pulley for the Saleen S/C, a new belt, 90 degree elbow and CAI, SC tuner with a cutom tune in it that will remove the rev limiter and give you a good tune. He says it is good for 80 HP. BUT it does cost $1895.00...plus shipping!

Yes the kit comes with a belt. There is not much you can do with out voiding the warranty. Just do it. You can alway put it back to stock after it blow up and then have it towed in...
I just got a email from saleen, i was wondering since this is the same blower they put on the mustangs 4.6 3v if you could just swap out the top half of the blower and convert it to the mustang still blower (where the throttle body comes out the front not the top) and they said though it was possible,
"Saleen would advise against do this type of modification. For many reasons, first you would void any warranty on the supercharger currently in your vehicle. Second there would be an extended amount of fabrication with the vehicle to go from the F150 set up to a mustang setup, items like the fuel rail set up is different. Third you would have clearance issues in the engine compartment with the different top plates, the mustang plate / intake stands taller and will not fit into the same area as the plate / intake you currently have on the vehicle. Fourth there is issues with amount of air flow / volume between the two plates, which would require a special PCM calibration that Saleen could not support you with. For these reasons Saleen would not recommend making these modifications to your vehicle. "
and also if you want to do just about anything to the motor at all (intake also) saleen will void their warranty. but i dont know why, they are worried they make a 475hp mustang on a 4.6 3v. also about JDM, 1895 is a bit steep. the pulley is only $109 bucks and the tuner is $379, then you can go to any local shop with a dyno and have them tune everything to YOUR truck which is better than a off the wall tune for maybe $150. so that total is $638 so they are charging $1257 for a cold air intake (which i would have to see a dyno sheet to prove it can make that much horsepower,) and a $20 belt, screw them.

The intake kit includes more than just an intake. There custom fabricated brackets to locate everything as well. On top of that its all set up to go together as a kit. You might be able to buy individual items but that doesnt mean that they will perform well together.
