I went with a B16 tranny because it came with a car :P

Re: vtak tranny or LS
 

im running the b18b not boosted yet with the gsr trans the torque feels great when it delivers to the ground.

Re: vtak tranny or LS
 

Most prefer the GSR gearing with boost.

If it were me I'd run the b16 with a LS final drive. But I care more about gearing than most do.

I have read your post on Honda-tech. Too much info!!! I get pulled down the straights from guys making 200 less horsepower. Everytime I shift into 4th gear they start the massive 5 car lengh lead going down the straight. I always run them down at the end of the straight. A VW went by me and sounded like he shifted in the same damn gear, then pulled away like I was standing still 3000 rpm 10 pounds of boost at 70 mph.

I have been working on a trick tranny for the past few weeks.
1st and 2nd who cares its what I use in the pits
3- 1.269 (ls 3rd gear)
Dog rings
4- 1.107 (92 gsr)
stock synco
5- 1.0 (aftermarket)
4.4 final drive.

I'm a little bit scare to run this aftermarket 5th gear under racing conditions for a long time. So tranny cooler and 5th gear oiler will be finished before this next session.

that's because vw's are the ----.

Re: vtak tranny or LS
 

for drag racing the LS is the way to go.

Re: vtak tranny or LS
 

no, ls is horrible gear ratios, and is the weakest of them all.

i hate the ls tranny, its odd driving in 25 mph zones, especially when u have a third gear grind, and 25 is 2ndish 3rd gear because gears are so long

i hate my ls tranny im going to sell it.

Re: vtak tranny or LS
