Forgot to answer your question.
It ran 180bhp on a base map on Northmapton Motorsport's rollers, which I've been led to believe, are very difficult to get strong figures from. Maybe 185bhp on their rollers after mapping. So not far from 200bhp realistically.

Car goes in for mapping tomorrow.
Engine build is complete. Pugg1Off put my crank from the old engine in, as it's a little nicer, being re-ground, but it turns out it's slightly bent. Obviously a result of the engine letting go on the rollers last time. So the C2 crank has had to now go in.
Northmapton Motorsport say that they will attemp to map the car tomorrow morning or afternoon. If things go a little wrong, they have Friday to fall back on. Trouble is, I won't be able to pick the car up until mid next week if that happens. SO fingers crossed it gets done tomorrow!

Cheers guys.
It's more to do with the comparison on the previous engine. If this one doesn't fair as well, it will be like a major kick in nuts.

True mate. I remember an ex-girlfriend who wasn't worth having, and she came really easily...
