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

Why not do both? If your only options are a B16 or LS, use the B16 and put the LS 5th gear in it for highway driving. As for the cams and bottom end, your bottom end should be fine.
