Depends on what your definition of better is. The B16 tranny has shorter gear ratios, so it will accelerate faster than a GSR tranny, but it will cruise at higher RPM.

B16 might be better for acceleration in the 1/4 mile, cause it has shorter gearing...
But GSR is better for daily driving, IMO of course
Any of the B16 trannies are too short for me...

I love my GSR tranny

well.. from what ive heard, the b16 is better for all motor set-ups coz itll redline quicker.. but the gsr would be a better choice for boosting or daily driving on the freeways.. i went with the b16 tranny on my b20vtec and it didnt make too much of a difference on the track for me, but i hate it on the freeway... 80-90mph cruising on the freeway hittin vtec kills my mpg..

set your vtec higher so you wont hit it when cruising on the freeway. if your cams like the higher vtec that is.
