FINALLY FOUND IT!!Interesting stuff... Makes me wonder a bit why the second set of injectors? Fuel enrichment for forced induction? Entire back up fuel system? Volumetric efficiency thing? Hmmmm
I just didn't see it on the schematic you posted... and had to ask.

"A member of the Cosworth YB engine series, the unit in the RS500 displaces the same 2.0 liters as the standard unit which produced 201 HP in stock, road-going form. Racing versions of those engines developed approximately 370 HP, but faced limited potential thanks to a smaller Garrett T3 turbocharger. Paired with a strengthened block built to withstand increased boost pressure, a Garrett T04 helped the RS500 produce 220 HP, with cars tuned to full racing spec making around 550."
In 1987. In. 2.0l. With 4wd.
IIRC, it was a matter of a simple jumper wire or extra connector to the harness to max out boost control and bring on all eight injectors. So in a few minutes your Sierra went from 220hp to 500+. Ford was eventually forced to quit building them over insurance.
Gee, wonder who Dodge copied with the Hellcat/Demon and the red /black keyfobs...
