shorter gears = faster acceleration, boosted or not

z6 or y8 tranny

Definetly shorter gears.

That's like the guys who swap in a B16 in to their civic with a LS tranny because it's faster for turbo... LOL!! Then they get spanked by the guys with the B16 trannys

i take it this guy is running cable, since he specified the 88-91 std tranny.

So in the event you are cable, those hydro trannies are useless to you unless you wanna go through the hassle of converting... exactly useless.

Best easily accessible bet, Si, EX or DX, LX.

I'd go with the cheaper one. I had a DX tranny and I was very pleased with it. But the Si would be the primo choice.

note that I said easily accessible, so I tossed out the ZC/ZC hybrid option.

ZC, if you want the Equal length driveshafts, but otherwise Si tranny. Or, if you want LSD you need the Si, or ZC with no equallength driveshafts(what I have)
