Ok, correct me if I'm wrong PWMAN. I agree with you and shhh_burn all the way on the LS issue, as you probably figured since I started this thread askin about turboing the LS versus LS/Vtec or LS/Vtec turbo. Besides the LS having a stronger bottom end, more torque, and hitting torque at a lower RPM, the Transmisson is also better suited for turbo apps due to the gear ratios it possess, correct?

There is a lot of controversy over this, but IMO longer is better for turbo. So yes the LS tranny is better. You stay in the gear longer alowing the turbo to do a lot of work and make more power, if you have a GSR tranny or ITR tranny you shift quick before it gets a chance to spool very much.
My 87 Dodge Daytona has very long gearing. All factory turbo cars that I know of have had long gearing, like 3000GT VR-4, Eclipse GST, Nissan 300 ZX TT, and Daytona's. Actually, just to really prove it to you, my version on the Daytona is a T1. It makes 146 HP, the next version is a T2, which makes 174 HP. The T2 is considered their starting performance car, (there is also T3 and T4) it has MUCH longer gearing than mine. Now there is a reason OEM manufacturer's put longer gearing in a higher performance car right? yes.

Hey, thanks PWMAN. You stated it perfectly. I was thinking along the same lines, but you explained just why it is considered a better suited tranny prefactly. I was thinking that, but for some reason couldn't put it into words. Again, I thank you, shhh_burn, and whtteg for being of much help so far thoughout this entire thread. BTW, shh_burn, is yours is an LS Turbo, not an LS/Vtec turbo, correct? I understand the B16 head is probably the better of the 2 heads for an LS/Vtec, but the reliablity issue I keep hearing is steering me towards an LS Turbo instead of an LS/Vtec turbo. You can still break 400HP without the LS/Vtec (thats of course building it correctly). I just hear mixed reviews on the longevity of LS/Vtec's everywhere I go, so keepin it non-vtec seems the safer bet.
