Did Ford ever consider putting the road runner 5.0 (Boss 302 Engine) directly into the S550? I know it shares a lot of it's improvements, but it doesn't have the 7800 rpm redline or the added horsepower (although it's only another 9).
What advantage is a 7800 rpm redline on the street? Very little by itself. The roadrunner is a very effective package on the track but the very very high powerbands hurts it's street prowess in most cases. I'll take the 9hp loss for the 20 tq gain and a lower power band any day of the week.
