Its been several years.
Nobody released SC kit for 545 or 550.
Only noolle motors who has release the kit 2 years ago. And price wise, not worth it.

Second choice, Go with M5 engine swap

The noelle's price is crazy (?50k or so)

Mmhh... No, we prefer to turbo/supercharge our engine: the V10 is big, heavy and too thirsty .
At the end many shops could turbocharge an engine..
Otherwise we will consider to survive with 360-370 HP .

you can also take a supercharger off (just in case the engine wasn't made for that sort of hammer

)

This is what I recieved from a responce from VF. Nic is the R/D guy.

Jon,
Thankyou for your email. The 545 development has been pushed back again. We currently have no eta. The main reason is securing funds to complete the project during a time of a slow economy!

So, I don't know what else to do about this one.
Next choice to have the engine blown would be to go buy a hooker I guess /shrug.

Not sure that would do much for performance, you wouldn't be able to close the hood all the way! hahaha
