A little late to the build thread party, but figure better late than never! After owning a 2011 GT, and 2 2013 GT, both a Premium and Base Track Pack, I made the step to the S550 Platform in early April, 2017. Purchased used, 1 owner prior, mainly because of the deal I got. Only downfall was I wish it was a PP car, but that was no where near a deal killer for me!
The main reason for the step to the S550 was, besides a Flowmaster Axleback, the car had a 2.9L Whipple Kit installed by the previous owner at around 2500 miles by DBR High Performance in Spring Hill, TN. I've always wanted a Whipple'd GT, and when I came across this one, I decided it was time!
Car:
2016 Premium 401A Package
3.31 Gear
6MT
Few photos of the right after I brought it home.

Grille Delete
UPR Products 5.0L Black Badges

Anchor Room Light Tint Kit

Stock af besides a Ford Racing Shift Knob
Lund N'Gauge
Custom Mount
Engine:
Whipple 2.9L Stage II
132 MM Throttlebody
ID1000 Injectors
Kenne Belle BAP
3.75 Pulley
Whipple Billet Tensioner/Standoffs
Boundary OPG / TSS Crank Sprocket
Lund Tuned
Suspension:
CJPP Lowering Springs ( 1.5"F/1"R )
BMR Cradle Lockout ( Not Installed )
UPR Vertical Links ( Not Installed )
UPR Adjustable Toe Links ( Not Intalled )
Plan on adding Viking Crusader Struts & Shocks
Exhaust:
Ford Racing X Pipe
Corsa Sport Axleback
Wheels
Verde Axis Gloss Bronze 20X9/10.5 +38/+45
MPSS 275/35R20 & 295/35R20
Believe that's about all I can think of at the moment! Plan here soon is either American Racing Longtubes, or possibly Stainless Works depending on funds. Then plan to use the Sai Li Fuel System, E85 and a 3.625 pulley, which I hope will be plenty for the street :lol: also a set of 305/35R20 MT Street SS, because these MPSS ain't worth it now ha!
