Even if it was under your budget, why did you buy it if it wasnt what you wanted??

Except in 05 and 06.

05 35th AEs 6MTs were different. 5ATs in 06 had the older motor.

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

My point was the fact that an engine mod will work the same regardless of transmission.

It will work the same but you still will come up with less WHP on the 5AT opposed to the MT,even with identical mods.
