I should have explained--look at what's available in the T5 world. Bells, adapters etc. A used T5 is maybe $500. Billions served. Serving suggestion.

You can always slap a C4 in there......easier burnouts, leaves your shifter hand free for a cell phone, burger, girlfriend, etc......

Thanks for all the information and suggestions, you all gave me a lot to think about. Ultimately money availability will dictate what I do and when I do it. But I will not be turning this truck into a automatic. Manual shift was a must have when I bought this truck. I missed shifting through the gears with all my other vehicles being automatic. Thanks again
