there's plenty of people pushing 18g/16g/vf22 with supporting mods on the stock tranny.its just really how you drive.
if you did want to get a better tranny there's different types of gearsets you can buy.ra gears and ppg being the most popular.just do some research on those two gears and see which one fits your needs.
good luck.
