Yes, you can run longer injectors and space the rail.

Default Injector Education

OK, yes a fix I use.

MY method is also another one, the Injector Education, use a Denso Injector.
The cost is equal AND the Denso has a 3 micron fuel particle size NOT the 5+ micron of OEM.

Thus they would Idle Better than stock 27's.

This is what I sell.

Don't forget to tell him the electrical connectors are also different. An easy conversion, granted, but still an extra issue to deal with.
