It was too cold to drive there @ 8am, but I dropped it when I parked. It stayed down on the drive back. Naturally I managed to lose my bearings in the area that I've lived for 25 years and ended up going 10 miles out of my way to get home. Silly me.
It's in the garage now, top still down. Wishful thinking for this week.
Can't wait to move back up that way at the end of next month...only I'll be in PA this time and not Nj. But at least its a 3hr drive across 78 to get there to see friends and family and definately some meet ups.
jsimmons,
I love that your car exists. Crazy there is so much space in the engine bay! Looks like enough room for 100 more Cubic Inches!
There's a guy in Wisconsin with a Boss 429 in a 2006, and a guy in Houston with a 427 SOHC - neither of them had to do anything to the shock towers to make the motors fit.

I'd love to see both those....especially the cammer. Any links to magazines or pics?

Jon Kaase here in Ga. put one of his custom Boss Nines in a brand new '08.
Check out this 4 valve 5.4 (taken out to 409 CI, wow) he won the Amsoil Engine Master's Challenge with a couple years ago. Check out those 4 into 8 into 4 into 2 into 1 headers.
"Kaase began by looking at block selection, considering both the iron and aluminum blocks available. Determining the iron blocks to be more limited in bore size, Kaase went with an aluminum 5.4 production block as the basis. He elaborated on the block, "The aluminum block has Siamese cylinders and does not come with a sleeve in it. It comes with a thin plasma coating as the liner in the cylinders. I bored it out, designed some thin 0.050-inch wall sleeves for it, and ended up with a bore size of 3.720 inches." Kaase had a custom billet crankshaft cut by Bryant, using the OEM journal diameters and a 4.700-inch stroke. Filling the bores are custom Diamond pistons built from a model made by Kaase for this application, with Eagle 6.658-inch rods connecting the internals. The combination yielded a displacement of 409 ci, making it the largest known engine of its type ever built."

That does look hot Tony except for the negative camber in the rear. I dig those wheels on the S550.
I agree Tom. Not feeling the negative camber, but I assume it's that way to make room for the lowering of the car when you hit the control switch? Other than that, I'm digging it. I wouldn't do it, but I'm digging it.
On the dyno with the stock wheels. Staggered 20" Rovos Durban set arrived and put on with Nitto nt555's. Steeda Springs and BMR PH bar in the garage and hopefully installed soon

Love it! The s550s automatically camber the rear when they're bagged. No way around it. I actually don't care for the weird look my car gets when it's aired out from the SRA. Looks funny being cambered in the front and straight in the rear!
