Default New to the hybrid scene...transmission help

Well, I'm new to the Honda hybrid scene (just finished my GSR swap into my EG hatchback), but I've heard that for drag racing the B16/Si transmission is better because of the closer gear ratios....however, I hear that for daily driving the GSR transmission is better because the Si transmission feels like 4th gear when you're in 5th.


Help?

Just trying to the transmission confusion up.


Si is better for drag racing because of closer gear ratio, but 5th gear feels like 4th?


And GSR is better for everyday driving, correct?
