Like most 'series' upgrades of the same model, normally comes down to exhaust / ECU calibration to get a hike in power.

They are I believe the same crate Windsor motor. Not sure what they did to get 220 KW though from the same.

Heads,cam, air intake, roller rockers. 200kw motors are the first of the hand built engines - have the Tickford engineers name on a small plate on the rocker cover.
