I know a lot of people prefer the LS tranny with boosted setups simply because of the longer gears.

gsr is better shorter gears are better

a B16 tranny would be best imho, if you don't do a lot of highway driving

i heard a lot of people like the tranny only on the roll, but i heard from dig its kinda slow due too the long gears. i will be doing the same swap and be keeping the ls tranny. i say ls tranny if you are boosting.

What do you want the car to be used for? Drag? Autox? Road race? The transmission you pick will depend on what you want to do. If you are looking for a straight line car you will want the gears to be a little taller. Road race you will want them to be shorter.
