you gotta know how much power and what kind of times you're looking to run before you start digging into transmissions

 

275-300WHP at the minimum....

 

to the wheels or at the crank?

i gotta go to class i'll talk more bout it later

 

To the wheel's.

 

When you have to shift the B16/GSR/whatever tranny you stop accellerating while the LS tranny is still pulling. That's when the advantage from the shorter gears is lost.

The ONLY advantage of the shorter gears (if all else is equal) is accelleration in any given gear. Overall, shorter gears are useless.

 

I see your point. but i also think its a very grey area because theres alot of variation that can come into play. its really a matter of "does your engine have the ass to pull?" and that leads back to top end performance. i understand why you say boost=ls though.

 

Well dang it, come on guy's!!! What transmission do you think will be best for me? I'm going to be boosting my B16 by summer, looking to see 300WHP ++ at least....car will be fully built, meaning suspesnion and everything.

 

Are you retarded? I fully understand where you are coming from, but, if short gears are worthless - why do ALL B series VTEC trannies come with such short gearing?

Because, when you have a motor (such as a VTEC motor), with a broad powerband...you can afford the shorter gearing. Longer gears are generally best matched to a motor with a peaky powerband to keep you there longer. If you are making power everywhere, you don't need the longer gears and can better make use of the shorter gears to pick up speed much faster.

 

you still havent told me what kind of times you are running

 

4 seconds

I don't know how my time's will be loren! Check this video out.... Its kinda the same thing im going for...
