idunno i like the short gears myself. ya just have to learn how to shift faster!!!
my b16 tranny works pretty good but it's livin on borrowed time with what i;ve been puttin it through!
i really need to get off my ass and put my hydro type r internals in the cable gsr case i just got a while back. i figure that's lots easier than going through all the hydro conversion drama in an ef. but yeah, the longer gears just take the car longer to get up through the gears.

and yeah, listen to what chris is telling ya! he's had alot of experience with making a turbo'd car with a gazillion hp get the power to the ground!
