^^ This

I will go as far to say "the" nicest S550 out there. Not one detail left untouched. Engine, drivetrain, suspension, exterior, interior...... everything. Not only untouched, but touched with arguably the top of the line parts as well.

All done by one of the nicest guys I've met on this furum.

I've seen the FOB Dennis :cheers: Great mods, tastefully done!

So much carbon awesomeness going on with your interior! :cheers:

It was my pleasure to supply your carbon steering wheel my friend

Really like the Flag on the Trunk Panel!

Do you have the source for the E-Brake Handle?

[MENTION=8271]JWS[/MENTION] Thank you :cheers: The E-Brake is from S550carbon aka Carbon Plug. Here is the link: https://carbonplug.com/s550carbon/carbon-fiber-parking-brake-handle

The install is a bit involved as you need to remove the entire assembly which requires under the car access for a few very hard to reach bolts

Fantastic Dennis... really enjoy watching your build...

If only April was every month my calendar would be G2G

Newest Mod

Welcome to my most current mod that is in progress. As some of you may know my car was pulling timing at 5K+ Rpm's at the Whipple Dyno event. Took it up to Whipple on Monday to see why. Discovered cylinder 5 was the culprit and motor is blown.

Per Will at Whipple:
"This is not the norm guys, these 15+ coyotes are very strong engines but every once in awhile we find motors where the ring gap was to tight from the factory and it causes the ring to butt up together and crack the ring land. This is what happen to his motor, just one of those unfortunate circumstances but like Dennis so kindly put the silver lining is he now will have one bullet proof 5.2L beast"

So the car will be up in Fresno for the next 6-7 weeks while Will at Whipple builds me my new beast of a motor. Stay tuned for progress posts as the parts roll in and the build is in progress.

New Motor Specs:

- New Ford Racing 5.2L Block
- New Ford Racing Boss Coyote Crankshaft
** Crankshaft will be Cryogenically Treated and Micro Polished
** Propriety Crank Snout Strengthening and De-Stressing process
- Manley H-Beam Rods with ARP 2000 Bolts
** Cryogenically treated **
- Manley Platinum Series pistons 3.700" Bore
** Coated, 11 to 1 Compression Ratio
** Fully Balanced to 0.50 Gram to allow RPM Range of 8,500+
- Coated High Performance Main,Rod Bearings
- ARP Main Studs,Head Studs,Side Bolts,Crank Bolt
- TSS Oil Pump Gears and Sprocket
- MMR Timing Chain Guides/Arms
- Ford Racing MLS Head Gaskets - Copper Coated
- Stage 3 CNC Ported Head's with Upgraded Valve Springs
- All new O-Rings/Seals/Gaskets.
- Fore Double Pump Fuel System
- Comp Cams Custom Spec'd Cam Shaft

*Motor will be able to withstand 1500HP and 30PSI to the Whipple. Final Specs will be dialed in once the build begins.
