Not enough information on your set-up and SEARCH.....there's to many threads about this already.

Get the YS1 Transmission that has the short gear ratio's. It will handle the power that your engine puts out very well.

They come in the JDM DA6 92-93 Honda Integra RSi B16A or the JDM DA6 92-93 Honda Integra XSi B16A.

Also the USDM DB2 92-93 Acura Integra GSR B17A1 has a real good short gear ratio transmission.

These are cable tranny's that Hasport sells a mount for to convert them to Hydro.

i know it sounds silly, but make sure your vtec is engaging. Make sure whoever did the swap wired everything correctly. Also, what program are you running? The ECU has a big role in determining power.

I'm not a huge fan of LS vtecs to begin with... so maybe i'm the wrong person to be commenting, but you should have just spent the money up front and gotten a motor thats already vtec.
