Nothing like a 5-speed, auto's are just boring, IMO. If you don't have a lot invested in your current car, it may be cheaper to sell yours and buy a 5-speed one.

Chip or flasher:

Improved fuel economy, more power, improved shifting points, pressure, etc
I have gone this route only with diablo instead of SCT but the man speaks the truth it was money well spent and now the car shifts hard with no tranny mods other than the chip

I would do the 5 speed swap....nothing like down gearing and have the exhaust to back you up. and go either 3:73 or 3:90.......or you can be lazy and put a chip in it LOL. j/k no but that is what I would do, Good luck mike.
