Id say change the tranny if you plan on going faster anytime soon.. but thats me. Even if you put 24.5's on the Maxx speed youd be able to hit is 127mph@8500rpm...i never was a fan of B16 trannys for that reason ... Yeah if you weigh 150lbs im willing to bet the car weighs 2500-2550lbs at full interior..

i was taking my car to 8800rpm with just ITR valve spings on stock rods/rod bolts..

Being as that block came out of an Auto car you know that it was never abused!

 

ya but you have a gsr.. mine is a ls.. im just sketchy.. i know i wud benefit revving to 8800-9000 because of the tranny and because of the ctr cams and my turbo wud still make power up there.. i wud trade my tranny for a gsr tranny if i found someone to do so.. but i have a lsd and i like it lol.. its my daily driver its fast enough for a while.. i think with out changing any thing it could be a lil faster with cutting down the 60'..

 

if i stay in 4th ill be on the limiter like 100 feet b4 the line.. id rather shift and keep pulling.. it would slow me down if i didnt shift because im am so far away from the line its not like im on the limiter passing the line its a ways b4 it..

 

I would bring the shifts up a little higher. You would be fine with ls bottom end. I used to rev my stock ls bottom end to 9000 rpm.

 

well we will see.. thats probably what ill end up doing.. i just want to car to last all summer.. but i guess we will see..

 

a GSR tranny would definately help you at the big end. Im only turning my B16 to 8K at 11psi on 22" slicks and I actually have about 3-400 more rpms left after the finish. and mine 60fts like crazy-1.59-1.60 running my PB of 11.74 @ 115mph. I have my shift light set to come on at 7700 and it is just coming on about 20 feet or so past the finish. get you a GSR trans and you won't have to raise your shifts or shift into 5th. just my .02 worth.

 

Spokane doing work! Congrats.

 

Nice times. I used to run a LS tranny but now running B16 FD with OBX diff. and GSR internals and LS 5th. I don't shift into 5th running 24.5" slicks and trap speeds of 118. PB 60' of 1.79. if you wanted to keep your LSD, and use GSR gears, all you need is the final drive attached to the LSD and that's it. a GSR is already 4.4 FD. If I could have the perfect set of gears, it would be B16 1-2, GSR 3-4, and LS 5th or a cuff if I was pushing enough power to be lucky enough to use 1 lol. just my .02

 

B16/gsr/ls all have the same 1st gear...

 

Seems the bigger slicks would be ideal, less stress on everything but the drive shafts lol.

 

gives me hopes for my car. congrats of personal best

 

The same way the stock rods are holding up with a vtec would they hold with a ls head? Or no because of the amount of torque the ls motor would have at the same hp range 350-400.

 

the motor would make more tourqe with the vtec head..its all in the tune.. and i rev it because i have valvetrain, and a turbo that needs it..

 

update::::

11.75 @120.. at same boost..

 

nice a car that is clean and pretty fast id recommend 24.5's and keep the b16 tranny short gears FTW! dont listen to myle's gsr propaganda! haha just kidding myles

 

stock rod bolts for sure?!

 

this is cool, im running ls vtec aswell and with my sc-61 on 11psi my pb was a 13.0 because of only radials and no lsd. my 60 foot was at its best a 2.1 this gives me motivation:D haha awesome car bro. build looks good, and good times aswell!
