Where i am at... Help needed!

So after installing reduction pulley, borla exhaust, headers, decat, intercooler, retune I am currently sitting on 208hp or 157 kilowatts flywheel power. Before the mods i had 126 kilos. I am hoping to install a cam next week but before i did it just wanted to find out what sort of gains am i looking at with a 264 cam and retune?

Depends on who you get your tune from. I was thinkin since youve already got headers and everything, a cam and retune will probably push you up 10-20 whp

Do I HAVE to fit bigger injectors with the new cam being installed? If I do need to do this, how big should I go? bare in mind that I wont be getting a head.

Your stock injectors will be at their limit when you have the pulley,intake,exhaust installed.

440cc, 550cc injectors are both fine as long as you get it tuned. The 550s would be good because itll give you room to expand if you ever wanted to get a head or anything. price wise theyre all the same.

are 380cc too small to get? ( i have the stock injectors - not jcw) I dont think I would go further than the cam.
what would happen if i just ran the car with standard injectors and ecu tune i? anyone ever have such an experience?

does that not seem quite a low power output, especially at the flywheel?

I mean 380s would be okay but why settle for 380s when you can get 440s or 550s for the same price?
