Withe the correct software and some time on a rolling road a new map could be written. Probably not a bad idea as the original map would have been designed safe so probably some extra HP available if wanted.
The problem as has been said adding 50% or more to an engines HP after 15 years of use is probably going to end badly. I will repeat what I have said before, If you want to get your car to go like a Ferrar go and buy a Ferrari.

Just to say though Steve, our cars were designed to have the charger fitted, yes I get it that after 15 yrs service you would need to do a top to tail refurb / check to fit it with confidence however I fully subscribe to having a sleeper that has 409 horses and let’s face it l, dam sight cheaper than your prancing horse !
Looking at experiences based on super changing 2valve 4.6 mustangs I see that people have had problems with engine failures with stangs too.
Although many factors are at play, it seems to me that 'Bad maps' and poor tuning is a common issue . So the fact that its a Ford engine in a rover isn't the reason for failure, as mustangs fail too.
Seems the engine just needs a good tuner who knows what they are doing with the 4.6 2v , not so much a 'ZT260 specialist' .
A forged build would probably be a good idea too as with any engine looking to make significant gains with forced induction.
