thanks a lot for the help.. I am going to check and see which tranny I have out of curiosity. yes I am new to working on cars I would say, I usually stuck to the hondas before that werent swapped, hah.. I never really messed with working on them before so everytime I did something I paid to get it done. but It is much more cost effective to learn and do it yourself..

The LS tranny is the longest gearing available for b series motors, Just be lucky you don't have a b16 tranny like the majority of us do, if your complaining about turning 4k at 80. My car runs 3700 at 60 on the hwy.

Then for your second statement about boosting while in 5th gear that wont be a issue because you wont be at 100% throttle only about 30% so you will never create boost.

Hmmm in my B16, Chris I do 4,000 at 80 in 5th in my car.
