my rs500 expected power output?
as im getting fairly close to getting the car up and running i have decided to go with a l8 ecu with 4 grey injectors.i have got 2 l8's both mapped for greys and t4.
im using this set up just to get it running,then will probably be looking to go close loop with stu using black injectors,some time later this year,
but for now what sort of power output can i expect with the set up i have?
engine spec is;
200 long studded block,knife edged crank,multi layer head gasket,ported head,double valve springs,bd10 cams,bronze guides.
and of course 4x greys and t4.
one of the ecu's has air injector set up and one hasnt.is it better to go air injectors?
what sort of boost figure should i be looking for with a t4 and that spec engine.
the engine in my old sapphire c9see was over 400 bhp on 8 greens,p8 and t34.
look forward to your reply's

u should absolutly go for air-injectors, much better boost-control 
And i dont know about how your top is ported and cams ajusted to but id say about 450-500bhp...

On greys you will see 460 MAX flatting out the injectors 440bhp is normal.Unfortunatly you wont be able to run more than 25psi due to surge cause of cam choice...well not below about 6000rpm anyway...so your looking at about 420bhp IMO.

the bd10 cams were in the engine when i got it.
are they milder than the bd14?
also the porting is apparently to wrc spec and cost the previous owner a fortune.
the car was owned by a guy on here-8injantilagnos or something like that.it was in his sapphire which was running antilag,p8 with nitrous,i bought it and sold it on and the car came back to me damaged.so the engine is now in my rs500.
