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

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.

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.
