Welcome aboard Nick. There are 3 or 4 guys on here from your side of the desert, they might be able to help with your query.
I see your building a G-Force, tell us a bit more about your plans.

Cheers for the welcome Dave,

Its my fathers car, and my brother & I are pitching in when required to get the project done... we have a bit more technical now how with cars than the ol' boy.

Car: G-Force Cobra
Engine: Windsor inj V8 (from AUII XR8 - 200kW from Factory)
Box: Tremac 5spd from same donor
Running Gear: Jag XJS inc LSD, all recond to new cond.
Fuel system: 60Lt Race fuel cell, Bosch 044 fuel pump, std inj.
Computer: Factory xr8

Basically we're up to the wiring & fuell system fitoff stage, Thus the need for a competent autosparky... we could wire up the base lighting & gauge systems ourselves, but when it comes to the ford ecu, aint got a clue how to make it run properly.

all that'll be left after that is paint, trim & lic... you never know he may be cruising before the end of summer... maybe

*** Just a quick question also, whats the best way to unleash the available horses with the larger exhaust & intake... Cams, or a piggy back computer for fueling (affects AFM signal, to improve A/F ratios).???

Again, thanks for the welcome, and any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards
Nick

Camshaft is the heart of the engine and is the one thing that will most affect performance, within the constraints of other engine variables.
I'm still old school regarding efi, but other guys here can give you plenty of advice there.
