B16a vtir vs b18c2 vtir?

[string]

If Honda put the B16A ratios into the B18C box, the Type-R's performance would be far less impressive

If you have a bit more cash up front, get the ITR S80 box. You'll be kicking yourself down the line when you want that LSD.

The B18C box has the same 1-2 ratios as the non-VTECs. 3.23 first, 1.9 second. It's a big drop and it sucks. The VTEC boxes have a 2.105 second.*

*by memory, so I might be off.
