I would be more worried about the sleeves than the transmission. Please dont ask how many psi you can run because that is irrelevant, it depends on the tune.

Im running a b16 tranny with gsr 4th & 5th (prob switch 5th to an ls later) My car is just under 500whp. Its perfect, just gotta know how to drive an be ready cause redline comes fast.

Also I agree about the sleeves. Trade someone for an ls bottom end. I bet they would give you money in the trade too.

ya i was thinking between 9 - 11 lbs. of boost and just have it tuned but ya the redline timing will take some getting use to since im use to an ls tranny. just under 500 horse power is impresive

Assuming its a stock B20 for now, it shouldn't be an issue. The B20 won't make tranny-splitting torque before it eats itself, so you won't exactly be roaching the tires in 4th.

^ wtf did you just say?

Boost, get a good tune, and you'll be fine. How healthy is that motor?
