in theory it should be because the gears are shorter... however if you plan on fi then you should keep the long gears, you will do nothing but spin tires

i have a friend with rsx turbo who spins 1st, 2nd, 3rd with the 6spd and a friend with the same setup on an si with the 5spd and only spins 1st, and part of second

Marginal, at best. First is taller, so it won't come out of the hole quite as fast if you have traction.

Longer gears are better suited for boost/nitrous. If you're gonna go turbo later on then just keep your 5speed tranny

Put a slick up there and that will solve it. Seen a RSX run one 11.94 with slick. Cybernations...
