I'm pretty sure alot of you guys have read my other post about GSR/B16 trannies.

What do you guys think about me installing a 4.785 final drive in my GSR tranny instead of getting the B16 tranny. Will the difference in acceleration be noticable? Also around how much do those final drive cost around. Give me some opinions on this setup guys. Thanks

difference? sure.

going from a 4.40 to a 4.785 is a big difference.

From what I've seen, Final drive kits are more expensive than just buying a new tranny. Most run like $750-$1200. I KNOW you can get a b16 tranny for a LOT cheaper than that.
