i would say that if he's not going to boost it, then get a new tranny!..that's the weak link for the em1's! the gears are too long...

the person above has no clue what he is talking about. the 99/00 Si has a first gear of 4:11 and the same final drive ratio as the ITR. The transmission is fine. Unless he wants to boost it, stick on nitrous, or play with some bad *** cams and head work, its best to just spend the money on suspension and tires. You arent going to see more then 15-18WHP out of an I/H/E combo on an otherwise stock B16A2.
