The business does not exist. So there is quite literally no other option.

He may well (still) have some claim on rights with respect to the software, if not its ownership.

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.
