Off topic, how about an AP-2 tranny and 3.90 gears in an AP-1. First thru 4th are about the same as the AP-1 and then you have more overdrive too.

YOU don't have overdrive, YOU have warp drive.

Why not just get the AP2 tranny with it? If I had a choice, I'd go with the AP2 for the final gear (in the tranny not the diff), which makes the gears shorter (yes your shift more) but the 6th gear is set so that the tranny cruises at a lower RPM while in 6th. Saving you gas, which is why a lot of people with AP1 motors go with AP2 trannys. Everyone has their own setup, just wondering why you dont go with the whole AP2 setup?

saving gas isnt on the top of my list if im planning to swap it over, im thinking more of performance

I have an '00 with a AP2 engine. The AP1 tranny works great with it. Had it this way for almost two years now.

Very interesting. I was reading some where that Honda not really messed up but that as an after thought put in the AP2 tranny for MY 04. I also saw the Best Motoring video where they said that. Kinda ass backwards AP1 tranny with an AP2 motor and an AP2 tranny with an AP1 motor but it makes sense when you look at the power bands.
