Default Bought a new car... HELP!!

Ok..

I bought a 94 Accord Coupe, VTEC, 5spd. Came with a bunch of goodies. Just one of the problems that i have is i KNOW its not the stock tranny. Dont get me wrong, its great. Im just wondering where the hell it came from. The gears are crazy close. 1st tops out at 30ish, 2nd in low 50's, 3rd at 75, 4th at almost 100, and then the car redlines at 120 cutting off right after at about 121-122mph. I love it, but at the same time i want to know what the hell is in it. The car came with GSR wheels, supposedly type R brakes and tranny. I was skeptical. Would like to have some insight on this. Anyone know what kind of tranny this could be?

Thanks.

In case you're wondering what goodies came with the car..

AEM CAI
Eibach Ground Control Coilovers
DC sports strut bars (F&R)
DC sports rear sway bar
Trunk battery conversion
16" GSR wheels
5 lug conversion
And a damn nice alpine stereo system

That sounds about like the stock accord trans. What RPM is it at 70mph in 5th gear?

3500 Rpm @ 70mph
4000 @ 80
5000@ 100
6000@ 120

3rd gear maxes out at 75 though? My 00 civic ex maxed out at like 95 in third, and my 93 GSR at 82 ish. So this one is def shorter than both. I didnt think that was normal. Is it really?

I think the H-series manual has really short gearing. My 6th gen tranny maxes out @ 100 in third.
