B16 transmission with boost...
I am suiting up for my b16 build...about to order the 'silver surfer' from 'the shodan'
Thanks for recommending him fellas!
Anyways...to the point! I know its been discussed before but I have been doing research and found a lot of folks saying the b16 is good!
I have also read/heard that putting an LS 3rd and 5th in would be "better"
Anyways here is one post I found...its the one I found that most justifies using the b16 trans...its kind of old and that is why I am kind of 're-asking'

Hey Shodan!! Whats up man! lol.....thanks for the input!! Yeah...I have found more folks saying "use the b16 trans" but most of what I found was old! And I know times change along with tech and knowledge.
Talk to you soon!

I guess it's all preference. I'm really glad I switched from the B16 trans to the LS. I was running through the gears way too fast (well, faster then I am now), and I hated how high the RPMs were on the highway. Also hated having to shift into 5th right before the traps in the 1/4.

If this is a track only car then sure the B16 trans will be fine. But if you're going to daily this thing you're going to despise the B16 trans.
