I know you say you don't want to make any mods but there are kits out there to convert to manual should you want to. Check Keisler for 5-speed conversion kits from automatic.

Much will depend on your hp rating/plans and how you drive (cruise, street/strip, strip, etc).

Good luck.

theres not much on it now.......i havent dyno tested it yet but im guessing maybe 220hp......from what ive heard the 400 transmission robbs a lot of horses. So what im think about doing is maybe doing a transmission swap then dyno it and if im not satifiyed with the engine yank it out and ether overhaul or replace it.
