effin EXACTLY!

The LS tranny is cool if you make hella power, or if you get a small turbo that kicks in sooner than 4.5 or 5 k

btw, small turbos kick ass... id rather have 220 hp and good response than 275 and LAG

With an LS tranny ur off boost performance is going to be miserable, while ive driven non turbo LS motored cars with a GRS tranny, and their NA performance is pretty satisfying.

I would way say find a gsr.... sooner or later u'll probably want one.

What rpm does a t3/t4 start spooling? What kinda of hp are you guys meaning buy ALOT HP when running a LS trans.. It seems like the GSR is all around the best trans because of shorter gears, which is faster accell which is faster spool. Would a GSR trans be geared to low for my turbo so traction would be a issue? Of course suspension products would be a big help. My car has Type R suspension under it. My question is roughly what would a LS trans 75mph mpg get vs a gsr trans, what would the difference be in mpg at 75? Maybe building a gsr trans with a LS 4 and 5 gear would be the best bet so you would have fast accel on the bottom end and still be pretty decent for cruising on interstate..

A GS-R tranny with an LS 4th and 5th would basically be an LS tranny. I know that the GS-R's 1st and 2nd at least are the same as the LS's, not sure about the 3rd gear though. A B16 or Type R transmission will have the shortest gearing.

And yeah...this thread is 5 months old...check the dates next time before you hit "reply"...

I know they are 5months old. Nothing wrong with bringing back a old thread that contains your questions you are asking..

If you say so. On this forum you'll find that resurrected threads tend to get locked up pretty quickly...
