How bout neither. First off, if you plan to get the GT28RS, why not get the GT2871R? Better spool, better top end...about the same price.

Second, why ANYONE would buy Nismo injectors is beyond me. Talk about a ripoff... Just get some 550cc injectors for a DSM. Go to ebay and do a search for "550cc DSM". You should be able to find a set of 550cc injectors for $210.

Lastly, running 550cc injectors won't give you much room for adjustment using a SAFC. 550cc injectors are 33% larger than stock and the SAFC can only lean out as far as -50%. I think a rom tune would be a much better solution. Lying to the ECU is not always a good idea...especially on an old-*** finicky ECU like the CA.

Just my $0.2133843
