You should really read up on the sticky posts and search around before posting this.

But I recommend staying with the 5AT and upgrading the valvebody.

Once you go fi, i'd already have the money together to get a vb at the same time. It's easier for the 6mt guys to have a little fun on their stock clutch until it's baked and then upgrade... If your 5at tranny starts slipping before the vb then the vb upgrade isn't going to help you out much... And will really be a waste in the long run.

Of course..... If you have the money to switch it to stick... You should just biuld the engine

hope that gets you started... Lots of research for you to do now...
thanx yo for the info this should help me out not like some of the other guys

naturally aspirated, ie. not having a turbo charger/supercharger, basically how the car comes stock.
