Does it have the stock gsr manifold? The P28 doesn't have a control for the dual stage intake manifold that comes on the GSR (i think) so you would need the P72. If it's not the stock intake than either will work fine.

Either will work if you don't have the manifold with the secondary runners. Get whatever is easy to find and cheaper for you, which is usually a P28. There were a lot more single cam VTEC Civics sold than GSRs, that's for sure. The P72 will have to have the IAB (secondary runner) output disabled in software when it gets tuned.
