Tranny accelerating? Are you talking about your gearing? There is many things to make your car quicker. It's all in how much you want to invest into the car. Personally I would go mini-me setup if you want your car to be faster.

And you find it doesn't accelerate as quick as an SI? I drove my friends and I find his is quicker if not the same as an SI! Very odd. Good question tho. If you are looking for an SI Tranny tho I might know someone with one for sale. But it's in Canada

Besides reworking the innards of your transmission(gearing) there isn't much you can do to make a transmission go faster. You could free up horsepower by having a lighter flywheel.

For that price and the labor, you might as well find yourself an SI tranny.

Or you could always create a hybrid SI/ZC transmission, but that requires more money, more knowledge and way more time.
