RR results can and do vary by quite a bit, so one RR may say 200bhp where as another may say 180bhp with the same car!
So 191bhp at that boost is about right mate.
Why stick with MFI?! It is unreliable at best, and can and does often result in a melted engine!
All you need for 200bhp is a FMIC and a stage 2 T3, no need for forged rods/pistons, or cam and solids.
Well my idea for the engine is to keep it mfi as its kinda original part of me want me to kinda keep the car original-ish.
My idea for my engine and they are only ideas at the mo, are forged pistons, steel rods, balanced crank to lightweight flywheel. well sorted head, cam, lifter, springs and valves and ported and polished. a AS exh manifold, polished out inlet manifold and cross over piper and a stage2 t3. So the engine can make is the same area as my 191 at the mo but not having to run as much boost, so running well under its limits, so its less stressed. I'm not out to hunt huge bhp figures.
