OK I'm sure you guys have been through this many times...but should I go with the S15 or S14 version of the SR20DET? I was going to just do the S15 one, until I read that the transmission is not as strong as the S14 transmission...Now, it might not be strong at hp's above 500 or something, and work perfectly well pre 500 or so, but I wouldn't want to get to 400 hp and have my transmission fall off you know? :PComments?Thanks guys!

s15 requires alot of extra money and work for not too much gained. The only considerable things different on an s15 and s14 sr20 is the slightly bigger factory injectors and the 6 speed. Injectors are easily changed and a 6 speed isnt always a good thing.

S15 does have a bit more HP with bigger injectors and the SPEC-R came with dual BB t28 (w/ divided ex housing)
