ok for next season what tranny should i go with

Ls tranny with LSD
or Type r tranny with LSD .

i already have the ls tranmission just gotta buy the lsd which is around $700 or i could buy the type r one for $900

im currently traping 11.5 at 127.8 mph with a LS with no LSD and ill be building my top end this season with redline set to 9000

 

The type r trannies have different gears and final drives depending on year, so make sure or the year. Second, the factory type r lsd is junk for drag racing. You will need a good lsd no matter which tranny you go with. I would buy a lsd and run the ls. If you need a different final drive then buy that too or start with a gar or delssol
b16.

ahh thanks for the reply .. i am going to go with a Mfactory lsd then and they sell gears i wonder if i should switch up and ratios or keep it stock

 

Agreed, factory type r diff is not good for drag racing. Plus type r gears are really short. You'll have serious traction issues. Go with the ls

 

alright sounds good LS it is .. first a cage then LSD its build season

 

would i benifit from going to a 24.8.13 slick to 22.8.13 or would i run the risk of spinning more ?

 

stick with the 24.5 8 13

 

Trapping @ 130... Stick with the 24.5

 

run gsr gears with that tire size and 130ish mph. you want to run through the traps high up in 4th gear. you shouldnt have traction issues with those ratios and a 24.5" slick.

i run gsr hydro trans trapping mid 120's and i go through the traps at about 8400 rpms in 4th

 

Stay with the 24.5. Choose your gears and final drive so you are going through the trap in 4th. No 5th gear BS. An LS in 4th gear @9000 with trap 159mph. Unless you're going to make a big jump in power and goal you're going to need a shorter FD. a 4.4 will do 142mph @ 8,000 and 154@ 9,000. I'd recommend at least a 4.4 FD
