that would be the dream tranny combo for me. i like the prolonged VTEC of AP1 gearing, but wish it wouldnt be so high revving on the high way for better mileage. theres always a downshift for power
btw, putting the stock AP2 tranny in is like bumping your FD to 4.27 from 4.1. because of that primary gear reduction of the AP2.

I thought AP1 and AP2 both have same gears 1-4 but AP2 5th & 6th are longer. Final gear both 4.100 right?

the gears itself 1-4 are the same from what s2koupe is saying but the primary gear mutliplier makes the overall gears shorter. (think of it like a final drive gear except its in the tranny and isnt the final gear before it goes to your wheels)
