As far as i know the B16 tranny is pretty short also for improved acceleration so i think Dan (Sleepinsol) is right. But you should look up both gear ratios and compare just to be sure.

The cable b17 actually has b16 gears. You could swap hydro gsr gears into your case if you really wanted a little longer gears.
