the b16 is better cuz of the shorter gears u gonna accel faster... ls gears are madd long

no it will not give you more tourque but the tranny was set to work well with a lower reving slightly higher trq engine like the ls, b20,h23 etc.

now a engine which has no lower end but screams up top will need a shorter geared thranny , cause it need to pull it thru the lower rpms faster to utilize the higher end power and since it revs being a shorter geared wont be so bad!

like a b16 trans on a ls will make it feel quicker cause it goes thru the gears faster, but a ls trans on a b16 will not work good cause it keeps it in the lower rpms more and the b16 sucks at lower rpms.

thats the ez way to explain it!

x2 very well explained................

Ls Will be better on Highway, B16 will keep you higher in the Rpm/gear range, so it's gona sound like your engine is screamin, and If i'm not mistaken(don't quote me on it) i think for highway the Ls gets better gas mileage

And It does matter big time if you N/A or boost which trans is better for you

ls fifth, easy fix. and i have like 4 ls 5ths so when we put the b16 gears in your cable case we will throw a ls fifth in there. on the house.
