They'll be fine. Really it's up to you whether you want to use the p30's or the itr's. No need to get bigger injectors, 240cc should be fine.

is this gonna be a daily driver? cause if so, ny has crappy fuel for such high compression engines...its almost like cali's crappy fuel. anything over 12:1 for daily driving is a bit too much because of the headaches it creates.

Really? I thought you could get 93-94 octane in New York. California has 91 octane.
