I believe a Roush 427 SR engine has a 7 quart oil pan. Mine does.

If yours does, than filling it with ten quarts is overfilling it and could result in the symptoms you describe. The excess oil is being churned by the crank and splashed into the pistons overwhelming the rings.
Could be the cause of your crankcase pressure.
