I have had the Flex a Lite on mine for a while with U/D Pulleys...No problems with the power issue.

One word of caution if you go with a Flex A Lite on an 07. You will have to re-locate the ABS Motor back on the frame about an inch for clearance if remember correctly, not a big deal..just drill a couple of new holes

Why Saleen? The radiator hoses are backwards. See if you can find a Ford Racing M8005-P221 that way you can use the stock hoses and connections.

I got one Hidden away. $175 off eBay. The FAL Monster fits on lovely.

The lower hose is on the wrong side but you can buy a hose ($12 eBay)

Dual pass so more efficient than the regular and FRP gravity RAD.

I will pop some pics up when I eventually get it fitted.
