Default What tranny would you use?

Lets say I have a SirII LB with plans of going turbo and I'm looking for a tranny, what one would you get? Y21, S80/Y80? Longer gearing is optimal for boost correct?

Y80. Too long of gearing sucks.

Y21 is too short for boost imo.

it really depends on how much boost you are going to run. i know several people who had turbo gsr's w/ the ls tranny and then went back to the gsr. it's too damn long!! maybe if they were runing more than 12-14 lbs it would be worth it. and i would imagine on a b16 it would be even worse.....
