Default B18C1 tranny to B16a2 tranny ?

i had a few questions concerning my tranny swap. will i notice any speed difference in switching them for the fact that the Si tranny has shorter gears then the GSR tranny? i am aiming for all motor goals so will this be beneficial for me??

I have a GSR tranny on my B16 and like it.
Other way around my friend. Shorter gears, he said.

I disagree. You will always be in a great place for power on the freeway. I don't know what you drive like on the freeway, but 70 is fine for me and I am at 4k at that speed...B16B trans on a GS-R.

I have a b16 tranny on my b18c1
I love it
People are amazed that I can be in 5th gear going 40mph and still pass people fairly easily

I'm using a B16 tranny w/my GSR and I love it. I replaced the flywheel for a 9lb unit at the same time the tranny was swapped, and it's the best mod I've done. Freeway is not that bad, it's a bit higher, but as stated earlier, gives a little bit of passing power.
