Default Boost with LS tranny

i just got my car finally completed and running , i have a LS transmission non lsd and when in boost im not getting traction .. got a couple of questions

the LS tranny i kinda like BUT the one thing is cant really give it on the street because 3rd gear is the gear im making power BUT its way to fast of a gear. should i switch is a GSr Lsd tranny , or keep my LS and throw a LSD in that hope that makes sense. also what kind of tires guys running when making over 300 hp ?

With 300whp, it doesn't matter what trans you have on the street, you won't have traction. GSR would make your 3rd traction even worse, would hurt 1/2 traction as well (4.4 FD vs 4.266). LSD + MFactory 4.05 FD will help you out, that or radials.

i just a little higher then 300. BUT forsure i need a lsd ehh . i am currently running stock suspention on the front because of clearence issues. over the winter ill be getting function and forms type 2s for dampening and stuff.

what i dont like with the ls the long gears i cant have fun like little pulls if i do they are so long and im going to fast.

i have ETD traction bars which are really happening im barely getting any wheel hop.

someone may be able to answer CAN i put the TORQUE mounts on its a 92 civic with a b18c1 and i do not have torque mounts for the sides . Just the 3 engine mounts ? if i can fit them im going to the wreckers asap to get some

If you want shorter gears AND better traction then the only option is either a GSR or B16 3/4 gear set and the MFactory 4.05 FD. Yes, you can use torque mounts. I recommend them for anything other than solid mounts.
