Hi 225, good to meet you and the others.

My standard 4.0 litre produced 225 BHP 240 ftlb corrected (176 BHP 190 ftlb at the wheels).

Not bad according to Charlie.

Had mine done at Austec about a year ago and the results were:

229 bhp / 277lb torque
190 bhp / 235lb torque

Paul did comment that he thought the above figures were exceptionally good for a standard 4.0 litre oldie!

Waaahhh- What happened mate- I thought you were going???? I've been sitting patiently all weekend for your numbers!


Was hoping to make it, but things conspired against me...

Next time I'm heading over Surrey way I'll give Charlie a call and see if I can drop in.

Charlie is usually pretty good for things like that (provided an army of you don't turn up). I'm interested to see how your baby does, should be bloody healthy?


Mine's nicely fettled and seems pretty well run in now. Pushed it round to 5000rpm for the first time yesterday, and it's still pulling hard up there.

Oggs certainly seems to have a strong 4 litre
