Tranny opinions, B16 or LS for B20 swap?

[hensleymikew]

Hey guys, i'm doing a b20 swap into a 94 hatch. In your opinions, what tranny would you recommend, B16 or LS. Gas mileage is not a concern but will the B16 keep me constantly buzzing high in the RPM range? Also would a set of stage 1 Crowers be too hard on a stock bottom end for a driver with a lead foot

I have a b18b1 with a b16 tranny and the rpms do stay higher but it doesnt bother me.

GSR tranny would be much better for a b20

Yeah, the GSR is right in the middle.
LS = Insanely long gears
B16 = Pretty damn short
GSR = Right in t3h middle!!

yeah b16 more for racing and keeping yourself in vtec with short shifts, ls gas milage, you could go with a type r... thats in between a b16 and gsr... but exspensive as hell
