Default LS Tranny on B16...Good For Turbo?

i have a 95 si with a jdm b16 sir2 swap with an LS tranny. (i bought the car like this) i plan on using a custom turbo kit this summer. Is the LS tranny good for the turbo B16 Motor? i know the b16 tranny has quick gears which are good for na not turbo. i have some grinding at high rpm shifts, should i just mod the ls tranny and keep it because i don't have the money for a tranny swap right now.

Doesn't sound like you have any other options?

There is lots of speculation about which tranny is best. I personally think a GSR with a quafe is perfect, but your LS will work alright until you can replace it.

What kind of racing you do will determine what tranny you will need.

Longer gears for higher top speeds, not because it's "BETTER FOR TURBO."
