the gsr tranny will sit lower in the rpm range, but you can still get upper 20's mpg if you are trying to, maybe break 30 on a long easy cruise. The engine will be fine cruising that high, that is why we all like honda's, just be very good to it, change your oil and filter by 3,000 especially if you are hard on it, give it high octane gas, you know, all that life and blood type stuff.
Yeah just get a GSR trans or a GSR/LS 5th gear if you want a better highway gear. The other day I didn 35.5 mpg in my GSR only highway miles, I usually get about 28mpg mixed with like 70% street driving. GSR trans is the best of both worlds in my opinion.
I vote b16b though, I hear with a little head work those things can get pretty high in the RPM range, not as much torque as a b18 but who care if u got a ctr engine haha

GSR, USDM ITR, and B16A trans all have the same final drive I believe. It's the 5th gear ration that differs and makes the GSR a little more efficient for highway driving. Well actually I believe every gear but 1st and reverse differ but thats a different story. You'll be a bit quicker with the tighter gearing of the b16/ITR trans but for a DD unless it comes with LSD I would just pick up a GSR tranny. My GSR is moderately build and all highway cruising between 70-75mph I got that 35mpg. Course our cars are lighter than your buddies too. Isn't the SI a 6 speed and it still puts him that high in the rev range? Damn lol
Thats awesome, i wonder what i'd get with the b16 tranny for mpg. 35mpg though is sweet! Yeah its a six speed but very close ratio. I was in it today and at 80 we are at est.3700 rpm. The thing screams though. and for 46k miles in one year, the thing is a champ.GSR, USDM ITR, and B16A trans all have the same final drive I believe.
