ohhh come on Boxey 95% of the crap in these forums is all about these ls's with problems
Get with it son
There's nothing in here about any Ford issues
Don't know about beeing speechless, I think nobody knows were to Start  
By the way GAz64 is on the money
Leads, coils, plugs cause miss fires if they are faulty especially under load, lack of power is in the tune and fuel trim, timing etc

WINDSOR WONT BLOODY FIT THREAD - That would be the thread just below this one  
I love the LS ford debate. My favourite is when you fellas go on about it being correct for the car - when half of you are happy to have a body that looks like it was moulded out of plasticine by a blind kid who once heard a cobra, or a hood scoop that could fit about 7 LS1's under it, or a single full width roll bar barely 6 inces off the rear deck, or a set of chrome sidepipes what look like they came off a Kenworth....so purist, and then you go and get all fussy about the badge on the engine. Cracks me up every time.

Thats what I like about this forum - very helpful advice plus some healthy Chev/Ford debates without people taking offence.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
I am gradually working through the problem by proecess of elimination.
(Fuel pressure ok, plugs changed, plug leads changed, coils seem ok).
I think its driveable enough (for my Engineering on Monday 8th).
I just hope the emissions are still ok with (what I think) is the tune being off.
I might be getting a loan ECU to try beforehand which might solve my problem as my original ECU might have had a dodgey Tune in it. We only just removed the VATS and adjusted the HS FAN temps.
Will let you know how I go.
Any further suggestions (other than a swap to a ford engine  ) are welcome.
