right now i have a sir b16 trans on it and its ok but i would like some more top end power. would an ls tranny be better for this or is the b16 one the best it gets?

 

Yea B16 defenetly the best as far as acceleration goes... If you have the power to push a longer tranny then maybe but i doubt you would be wanting more topend power if you did There are arguments for days about the subject of long gearing vs Short So thats as far as im going

 

if your using a turbo on it use ls trans,

waiting for the **** talkers come on lets argue

LOL You want a group of people to come in using simple math to mock you?

B16 tranny is the best but if it is too shorted geared for your tastes or traps go GSR.

 

i just think its funny how so many people on here when you ask a simple question freak out and talk **** to you when there are tons of opinions and facts out there but theres is always right thats all i just figured that someone would say something and i was right its just my opinion on what i hear about it

id rather go for the gsr

 

you could go with a gsr trans like the one I have for sale and swap the internals

No I just find it funny you state you want to fight.

This is not a debate like what rims are cooler or is red better then black?

This is a simple math problem, the LS tranny is worse for acell and little torqueless motors need to multiply the gearing more. Shorter range trannies ALWAYS have better acell but revout more and hit top speed sooner.

My LS1 makes over 350 ft lbs of torque now I drive around town in 4or 5th 4th is a 1:1 gear with a 3:42 rear a honda could NEVER even budge like that. You need the torque to be able to get away with that.

The down side of running a b16 tranny that seems to cause the silly myth is first and 2nd gear is worthless from wheel spin. Way to remedy proper sized slicks upgrading your X member etc. The other down side is even with quite large slicks your top speed will be lower then with a GSR or LS tranny.

Those "downsides" are greatly out weighted by the better gearing in the other trannies.

 

and there we go some real fact i just stated the agument stuff because it was almost a garauntee that someone would talk **** so you gave some real facts and now the guy has something to go by not just b16 cause i like it or gsr cause its cool or ls cause it is what i heard

Ohhh ok well you worded it all weird

But thats a very basic break down for you, I have had both GSR and b16 I must say for a daily I like the GSR better *longer 5th* Some people also do a b16 + LS 5th.

tell your friends so they stop the LS is better rumor
Happy to share info thats what HT is all about

 

After using both the b16 and ls trans. My personal favorite is the ls. It won't hurt ur acceleration much.
