first the B18B1 can be boosted more to make up the 30 HP it gives up to the B18C1
And second the LS tranny has longer gearing which is better for turbo apps.

Care to explain why longer gears are better for turbo, I don't really understand the concept, just a wee-bit but not fully.
I'm no turbo expert but I've seen turbo LS's doin 160 hp to the wheels, which is 10 more than a gsr, same turbo on a gsr would probably make it 210 WHP, bit I don't know much about turbos' so I could be very wrong, Ijust think if the turbo will give the B18b power, it'll give the B18c1 MORE power.
