We will need to get access to the ECU to make any serious modifications to the car. I am sure someone has put together a ROM chip and PC link with software that will allow for modifications on the fly, just need to find it.

There should be more power left in this engine with appropriate tuning.

-- 75 hp per liter is not too hard to attain assuming the heads will flow ok (haven't seen numbers on this yet since I am brand new to this engine)
-- 100 hp per liter is equally attainable with supercharging and a safe tune on pump gas with any heads that will flow reasonably well.

I am checking with everyone I know from the Ford world on ECU mods, but would appreciate any guidence from everyone that has been working iwth the MB engines for a while. While I am willing to work with one of the experienced shops (Renntech, Kleeman, etc.) I would rather not send my chip back 100 times with suggested modifications.
