Also, ditch the LS tranny and go with at least a GSR tranny, or even a 99-00 si ir ITR tranny. LSr gears are much too long for NA.

The ITR header will work on the B16 head.

Definately agree on getting rid of the LS tranny. You will fall out of VTEC range when you shift while racing.. ahem... I mean passing other cars.

B16 tranny gears are too short on the freeway for me. 80mph close to 5K rpm.
GSR tranny is the way to go.

Good luck

Ill tell you how much the LS tranny sucks. My friend has a 92 CX hatch with an LS/VTEC 11:1 compression etc and an LS tranny. I have a GSR that runs mid 14s, and i take him every time. LS/VTEC hatch w/GSR or Si tranny would kick my ***. Just some food for thought.

Planning to get USDM tranny w/LSD from a buddy who works for honda. LS for right now then the good s***.

Another thing, I'm planning to upgrade to CTR pistons on GS-R rods, will I need to bore or do anything to the block?
