Agreed, GSR tranny will make quite a difference.

Spec R

yep the GSR trans in my LS was at 4k at 80mph too.

Hmm.. that's wierd. At 73mph (confirmed on GPS) in 5th gear my GSR is at 4k, but my speedo says 80 or so.

I think a GSR or even a B16 tranny would be great for that motor. The only time an LS tranny is really used is when you have 500+ whp and you need the longer gearing so you're not blowing them off at 40mph and up.

are you saying i can do a complete tranny swap without any other things being factored? if so, this summer the gsr tranny will be dropped in lol

pslsnakes

Yes. All B-series trannies fit all B-series motors, except the B17A1 '92-'93 GS-R spline count is different.

Khazzy

dang lol ima go find a low milage tranny in the jyard, thanks bro good idea

sherwood

just remember going to the GSR ratios you're going to loose some on your gas mileage

tire/wheel size can affect speed, this is probably amplified in that case by tire warp that can occur at high speed

Khazzy

seriously? i rarely shift when driving to school above 3k, i dont think the mileage is going to be that much different, now if i am shifting later, i understand there lol. but who does 80 in the city? i sure as hell dont haha, now on the track, that could be a factor

sherwood

you're not going to see any difference through 1st and 2nd... above that the ratio's are placed closer for acceleration... you probably won't see much difference in the city, but you will be running a fair bit higher on the freeway.

Remember that you're also only going to only see that acceleration increase on the highway... just food for thought

I'm on stock 15" wheels, with a stock rated 195/55/15 series tire.
