Had a great day out on Monday, took the car to Lloyds Specialist developments in Warminster who mapped the freshly (ish) built engine.
Spec is as follows:
Brand new 4ltr short engine
piper 270 cam
Canems ecu controlling ignition and fuel
modified Plenum to fit westfield
standard heads
Very pleased with the end result which was 203bhp at the wheels (around 245bhp at the crank). wonderful sound
Lloyds were fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly service and really interesting day out. They had a couple of wildcat heads on the bench...my goodness those things are sexy!.

Sounds good I hope yours runs better than mine.
Yes the Lloyds brothers are nice chaps but they never managed to get mine running without misfire problems.
I ended up using 4 different mappers before finding the wiring issue that Lloyds created.
yours is a similar spec to mine when it was a 4.0L
have fun.
