I like my LS S80 trans, gears are not to long at all. The GSR trans is the best for a street car IMO. Has slightly shorter 2nd and 3rd than the LS 1st 4th and 5th gears are the same. I cant really tell the difference in gearing from my LS and a 00 GSR I work on. For racing the ITR trans is by far the best. Stronger dual syncros, short gearing, LDS.
