What Transmission?

I am planning on a GSR Block, mated with a B16 head. Which tranny would be best for the boost? I was thinking the S80. Any suggestions?

any will be fine. depends on where you do most of your driving. i recommend the B16 tranny w/ the LS 5th if you drive highway often, especially w/ boost, the higher rpm on the highway will cause alot of heat.

"S80" covers like, every G3 Integra manual transmission.

How much power/torque are you planning on making?

Ideally you want the shortest geared tranny you can get, but if you're making 800hp, that's probably not the ideal setup for maximizing traction.
