    Not necessarily true in the real world though. If i had a 4.40 B16 trans and you a 4.7+, then you would be shifting while I was still pulling. A LS/VTEC with 4.40 would walk all over a B16 with 4.7+ gearing. I ran a LS/Vtec with B16 trans and 4.26 final drive. It would out run a bolt-on b16 swap hard. The B16 would be shifting and shifting, while I was just pulling away.


    I even ran a co-worker when I worked at Gwinnet Honda. He had a EG with B16, bolt-ons, CTR cams, etc. He said he would take my LS/VTEC EG with stock everything, stock LS tranny, cat-back, and a chipped ecu. He ran a best of 15.0 @ like 94mph, and I ran 14.6 @ 97mph (warm nite at commerce). After that he never talked shit to me again.
