longer gears = higher speed, while shorter gears = quicker acceleration.. see what suits you... LS tranny has the longest gear, GS-R is shorter and you can get a jdm one with LSD, B16 is even shorter, and then there's the Type-R trannies that come with LSD from factory...

^Not in the honda world. With boost shorter gears are the best.

what kind of numbers are you putting down? if your sub 300hp, id buy an LSD and install it into an SI tranny with an LS 5th gear. If your over 300hp maybe look into an ls tranny
