My engine was held back by the intercooler at 478bhp (mine is an RS500 one) and the next step really is to port the head, swap the cam and then pocket the pistons to suit. I am on a Borg Warner twin scroll.

I would imagine that whoever is going to live map it will know much more than I can tell you though.
