Default Swapping B series gears

I have a different setup than most. I have a f2b F22a with b16 tranny. Makes way more tq than hp . My gearing is killing me I have to shift in to 4th in the 1/8th almost maxed out and 5th in the 1/4. I make max hp by 6500rpms. I was wanting to make my tranny a 4 speed. My plans are to use

b16 1st
LS 2nd
b16 4th in place of 3rd
b16 5th in place of 4th

Is this even possible to swap gears like this. Here is what made up on mfactory gear calculator. custom tranny in graph 1 and b16 tranny in graph 2

No. You cannot do what you are suggesting for a number of reasons.

And you are trapping over 130 mph? Because with the setup you have input there, 5th tops out at 137 mph on 24.5" tires. Give us more info on your setup and what you run in the 1/4 so we can maybe give you another option for gearing.

My car makes 300hp and 380tq. I have not been to the 1/4 yet reason is in the 8th i almost getting in to 5th gear. I run high 90s in the 8th. I spin like crazy and shift way to much. When i run cars with about the same hp they walk off on me in 3rd because they can rev to 9k. i am having to shift in to 4th. I can make more power but it does nothing for my car. I ran better on 245 hp and 285tq

id put in a ls tranny if it were me and id be gettin some 24.5" slicks if you dont already have them. At least with the ls tranny you will be smoother getting the power to the ground due to the longer gears.
