Either will do the job perfectly, IF mapped correctly, be careful with dark greens though, the last set I had, had just been cleaned and were at 80% duty by 300bhp, these were the "std" fitted cossie dark greens, 0 280 150 803, so maybe opt for greys, 403's, would future proof it for more power as well then.

on that advice then i would say light blues as they give a better spray pattern than greys and will still future proof for more power

not as much as greys mind you bet better choice for the required power level

if you do go greys then drill out the end caps a bit as that will help the spray pattern

I cleaned a set of light blues, dark greens and greys one after the other, could not see ANY difference between the lot, only flow rate.
The myth about not getting a decent result on greys is just that, a myth perpetuated by those who can't map for shit.
On a T3-34, ported head, my greys ran 0.97% CO and 137PPM, with 200,000 MILES on the engine, 100% faultlessly, and still did over 40mpg on a run, not on a std ecu mind, and none of that nasty closed loop.

No, I just have a thing for people not being conned out of lots of money for something that isn't needed, IF the mapping is good.
