Default Best trannys for turbo

I have a 96 civic hatch with a gsr turbo motor. It makes 355whp and 212 torque with 12 psi boost.

I was wondering with tranny would be best for the car i have a b16 tranny on it right now but when i launch the car spins the slicks(24.5/9/13) then when i shift into second it kicks me out of boost

I have stock flywheel and ACT 6-puck extreame clutch

also top speed is 119mph with the b16 tranny and 4th at about 8600rpm

have you tried any other slicks or only 24.5? 25's should bring ya top speed up a tad maybe 124 or so. what are you crossing at rpm wise at the finish line??

1st is basically the same on b series trannies. Just hold it out longer before you shift 2nd that way boost might not fall out. What are your 60's also?

My best so far is 12.1 @ 119mph with 12 psi and the best 60' is 1.82
It just bugs me that when i shift it kicks out of boost
