ok heres the situation , i am currently running an LS tranny on my h2b setup , completely built on a gt3776, car made 490whp and 378wtq at 21psi,

took it last week on a street tire which spun the whole track which i noticed after watching the video. 2passes 12.5 120mph and 12.2 at 123mph with 2.0 60footer i will return on a slick tomorrow and actually put the gears in harder comapred to leaving a big pause in between.

now my question is what tranny to go with , my buddy said see what rpm the ls is when you finish the track in 4th and then we will decided.

i know you honda tech guys always know best.

 

rev limit ?


gsr gearing is probably the more favorable trans for all around street/track.

 

i should have put that in, most of the guys i have talked to did say go with the gsr , i rev it up to about 8-8500

 

whats that car weigh in at ? it should mph 130 or higher with that power

look on here, it may help, it may not

94-01 gsr trans

Tire diameter in inches 24.5
Maximum engine speed (RPM) 8500



Gear ......ShiftRPM .....Speed @ 8500 RPM
1st..... N/A ......... 43.6
2nd .... 5000 ........... 74.1
3rd .... 6084 .......... 103.5
4th .... 6462 ........... 136.2


judging from that calculator, it seems like it would drop out of your power band in between gears, that being the case. rev the **** out of it

here is a b16 trans (same tire dia/rev limit)
................speed @ 8500rpm
1st...... N/A..... 43.6
2nd ...... 5539 ..... 66.9
3rd .... 5887....... 96.6
4th .... 6454........ 127.2
