LS is not best for boost. Stop spreading bad information.

just get it and swap out for a b16 tranny, they have similar gear ratio to the itr tranny at half the cost.

it doesnt matter, any tranny with long gears is going to slow you down, my friend had a dohc zc turbo and i told his *** forever to run a ex tranny but no he ran a dx tranny and it would always bog into 2nd for a bit then take off, he didnt understand **** about bettter gear ratios..

until when took my ls trans off my type r and put a b16 trans on it he was like oh **** now i see, because the car doubled in speed no joke, the car was a pig with a ls trans on it...

long gears are good for one thing and one thing only, going slow as ****, and having a good cruising rpm in 5th on the freeway lmfao

i honestly believe that the gsr lsd trans is the best oem tranny for boost, not too short, not too long

anyways the car is going to be slow with a ls trans, have you drivin it yet?

if your dead set on it, atleast upgrade to a gsr trans asap it will be a world of difference trust me

Sounds like a good deal. I don't know what to say about the tranny, I'm using B16 w/ LSD installed and it is great til' I'm on the highway and I'm hitting about 7 grand on the tach! If only we had a sixth gear option for B series!!
