I had a b16 cable tranny with my LS and I redlined in 5th a 120mph. It was nice for the 1/4 mile and light to light racing but if your looking for distance forget it go with the gsr tranny.

I have a question about the b16 tranny. Which b16 are you guys talking about? the 99-00 Civic Si b16? Because those gears didn't seem very short at all when my bro smashed on one in his LS. Video on youtube! Rawr!

i had a USDM 97'spec Type R tranny on my LS and with my cams I was revving to 8K...in 4th gear I would end around 100-105 i think...b16/type r are nice for the quarter...but highway races FTL

When I get my Jetta chipped (higher redline, 6500<7200), I hit 115-120mph in 3rd gear.
45-50 in 1st, 70 in 2nd... Probably 135 in 4th... I have such tall gears! Even now my 3rd is like 95-100mph...I wish I had shorter gears for better acceleration; but my 2.8liter V6 has too much torque for short gears
And my top end is amazing! I bet your gas mileage goes down like crazy with the b16 tranny tooBIGB90teg

Only asking cuz dude told me his built LS with a B16 tranny he was running like 5g's on the interstate that's y I wasn't sure I should use the B16 u know! Prolly just go with the GSR then unless someone tells me different about the B16 cuz I think id like those short snappy gears!

As long as you don't do a lot of highway driving, you'll like the b16... I wouldn't doubt it at 5k... 4th gear ends at 100mph, so yeah at 70-80mph you'll probably be in the 4k range....

b16 has short ratios only good for racing but a high rev if driving normal on highway go for an gsr

Well since I hardly ever drive on the interstate I think I might try the B16 tranny out cuz I'm sure I'm gonna love the short gears I mean hell I drive a Honda so who the hell needs to go above 120 lol if u can't get it done b4 then, then don't try hahaha just kiddin but yeah B16 it is! Thanx for the info and opinions!

Talking about the J1 tranny out of the Integra XSI (Not sure what else it came in).I have a question about the b16 tranny. Which b16 are you guys talking about? the 99-00 Civic Si b16? Because those gears didn't seem very short at all when my bro smashed on one in his LS.
