an ls tranny would be really nice because of the longer gears your turbo would stay in boost longer rather then keep on having to shift. You will top out that car to quick in the quarter mile. I think an LS would do you nicely. You can probably find someone to do a straight trade.

no way... keep the b16... it is a great tranny... that is what i would run and did run on my CX... you will not damage anything... and the turbo wont be spooled even though you are at 4200pms... the turbo needs to be BOTH under load AND over its spool RPM to spool... so dont worry about it... just drive it and have fun...

but in my eyes wouldnt you have to worry about topping out before you reach the end of the track with a b16 tranny. You top end will definatly suffer.
