Why did you buy the car when you didnt want an automatic?? This doesnt make any sense.

If you plan on going FI in the future the 5AT works well.

The motor is the same, but you get about a 8% drivetrain loss with the 5AT.
I have APS TT with Nitrous....The 11.3 was with a 35 shot. VB and TC in the tranny

I would jsut trade it in saving you time money, warrenty, the factory manual will work. no garuntees on a swap
OP, expect to spent about 3-6k for everythig
