For sure! I'm buying the valvesprings, cams, skunk2 intake, ApexI SAFC, FPR, High Flow fuel pump, haveing the head ported and polished, 3 angle valve job, hope fully will be putting down NICE #s! As soon as I have ALL this done, then I'll put this head on an do it all at once, drive it for a day, then take it to a dyno for some tuning. Then I'll be buying ZEX and spraying probably a 55 shot. I had ZEX on my old car and enjoyed it, but wasn't sure as to how the 404s would take to N20, thanks, anymore info?

I have an LS swap in my 1994 CX hatch right now, how much did that GSR tranny help you? Would the B16 tranny be better than the GSR?

Here's the problem, Si tranny has too close of gears for an LS engine, if you don't want to go faster than about 110 mph at the most, then an Si tranny will do, most prefer a different route, I was very happy w/ my LS engine and GSR tranny. it's a very good combo, if you plan on going an all-motor route, I'd recommend a GSR tranny for an LS engine. The only problem I ran into was that when I sprayed, I wished I would have kept the LS tranny, In a HB w/ an LS and GSR tranny I had a respectable car, but when I sprayed it was very fast and I had to keep shifting. I feel that if I would have kept my LS tranny I would have been faster on the bottle. So...
All-motor LS= GSR tranny hands down, not too short but not too long legged
N2O LS= LS tranny
The only way I'd recommend an Si tranny is if you had a REAL built LS/VTEC, and by built I mean it, the Si tranny's gearing os for high rpm action and it will destory and engine because of how tempting it will be to stand on he gas and hit 8k or 8.5k all the time.

SI tranny pulls hard on the LS, I've ridden in one and compared to mine its night and day.

Thanks for the info. About how much will a GSR tranny run? Around $700 or so?
