Default strongest tranny ??

ok i have the opportunity to pick up either a gsr hydro or a b16 cable. i have heard that cable trannies are better because the casing is stronger then the hydro casings, does anyone know if this is true ? what are you high hp (400whp+) guys using for trannys and how are they holding up ?

im not really worried about replacing syncros or diffs, im just wondering which one is a stronger tranny to get. i did try search but i couldnt come up with anything

thanks

well i never heard of the casing difference , but everything internally between any b-series tranny is made with the same grade of materials...so they all hold up about the same amount of power. the only difference between them is gearing ratios, and lsd vs no lsd.

The gears themselves can hold alot of power, it just depends on how much you beat on the car and hurt the syncros and such. .
