288s are too much yes.
But it depends on lift too.
Usually around 266 is the max.
You can fit 276s, if they dont have much lift.

What other mods do you have/intend to have?
There's no point in going for a wild cam (like the 288s, if you could fit them in with standard pistons) if you're using the standard injection system.

I belive DaveA from v sport can make a custom set of 288s that do not need pocketed pistons, might be worth a u2u

yes, thats right. 288's will fit with standard pistons but you need to be carefull with the cam timing. I sell a similar camshaft to the 288 newman profile that can work with standard ecu and pistons although a remap will be needed.

any changes to cam profile will need a remap to make the most of them.

so is it just the standard ecu that just gets a tinker or have you got to have a different one put in?
