i have a ls motor on nitrous. wondering if i should swap the transmission to gsr for better gearing?

 

I love questions like these, cause they make no sense. The difference is only a couple mph in each gear. If your turbo'd/spray then whats the big deal. Youve got way more power than needed to get to redline fast enough.

Its only particularly important when you have an all motor car, where each mph counts.

to answer you question, LS is best.

 

you are nuts. gsr and b16 trannies own ls trannies. i would invest in one of the two, but also buy an lsd for it.

And I love anwsers like these, pure stupidity.


Yea go with the gsr, much better over the ls tranny.

 

Shorter gears always are better.

 

GSR tranny of course

 

huh? with nos your powerband increases greatly right. So, wouldnt longer gearing yeild longer time in the powerband.

maybe im on crack&gt;

Nope....it will only become a factor depending on the amount of shifts you have to make and at what speed it is.

For instance, if a shorter gear box is quick, but you have ot make 1 more gear shift in the 1/4 mile, a slightly longer gearbox to only race in 4 gears might yeild faster times.

But, in general, shorter gears are always better. Although, the point is to keep the engine working in its peak rpm range. Its the area under the curve that matters, so whatever maximizes that will be best.

 

agreed were only talking a couple hundred rpms.

 

here u go i like the ls higher top speed just need the power

Go with the GS-R... shorter gearing means more torque multiplication, so more actual torque to the ground. It comes at the cost of lower top speed in each gear (ie you shift sooner), but it's well worth it when talking about going from LS to GS-R. I'm running a turbo LS engine with basically GS-R gears... the shorter gearing doesn't feel faster (since it's pretty smooth), but actual performance shows that it is definately faster.

Drive an ls with an ls tranny, then drive one with a b16 tranny and then try saying that. To you

my girls GSR is the same way, it doesnt feel that fast since its so smooth but when u look at the speedo while driving ull be suprised

you must be. look at it this way...the more time you spend with the rpm needle in the power band, the less time you spend with it moving up. we call this "accelleration."

to answer your questions, b16/itr &gt; gsr. the ls trans doesn't exist to me and i would never use one in my car.

 

i tell you this man i just finish blowing up my ls tranny and man the gsr tranny i got made a biggg difference the gears are crazy. 3rd is the big that thing just flys by. i have the same as you and LS on spray and it cant get any better

 

lsd, lsd, lsd.

 

thanks for all the help! My buddy had a ls with b16 tranny and down the interstate it seemed a like it was reved way high but it was a bad mother! that is why i was asking bout the ls or gsr I will let yall know about my results when it is done, if yall care. putting everything in tonite will run friday in the 1/8th. that is all we have round here.

 

if u have NOS on em ill stick wit LS or maybe u can get the GSR tranny for longer gear..
