    And how often do most ppl go over 120mph?...... the point is, you will get to "120mph" like you say faster with the b16 tranny over the gsr and ls.

    Op, get a b16 tranny with a ls fifth gear and call it a day.

    I would imagine if you're drag racing then 120mph should be within reach if you're pushing any kind of power. And shifting into 5th would REALLY suck! The GSR tranny is an all around great tranny. If you want lsd then go with a type-r tranny. I dunno...its just personal preference. I would rather buy a GSR tranny and call it a day instead of buying a b16, find a ls 5th, buy a ls 5th, open the tranny, pull the b16 5th out, install the ls 5th, close tranny up, etc, etc... And it isn't going to be that big of a difference between the b16 and the gsr. ESPECIALLY when/if you're spinning.

    B16 and ITR have the same ratios homie. You say you would do the gsr but then you say you would go with a type r tranny....... and it will be a difference if you are racing a car built similar to yours and you have a gsr and they have a b16 tranny..... and when you drag race you use slicks, so spinning should be at a mininum.

    Like I said...its personal preference. I personally have ran low 11's on a stock open diff gsr tranny and really didnt have ANY spinning issues at all. I have seen people hit 9's with a stock open diff gsr tranny. So what exactly is the argument here? Right now I have a gsr tranny with a type-r diff. It really has been the BEST tranny I have ever owned. Dead hooks...fun on the streets.

    Only reason I said type-r tranny is if you really felt you needed the lsd and didnt want to do any work internally to a tranny. Easiest route. But hey...thats just me. If I had the time and tools...mostly the time....then I would enjoy building my own trannys. lol
