is there much of a difference between the 4spd and 5spd tips, and how does the 5spd tips compare to 5spd manual ?? im assuming the 5spd tips might be slightly quicker than 4spd ???

Best to worse for what????
Manual is going to be a better choice if you are worried about power, there is estimated about 20-30% power loss in the auto drive train (this is from what I have read on this forum).
The 5spd better than a 4spd? I wouldnt be so sure on that from what i have read the 4spd is stronger box with a lot less problems but even if that wasnt the case if you need to replace the 5spd good luck trying to find one.
Fulltilt, i doubt the 4spd would be slower than the 5spd I actualy think it would be the other way. The 5spd, IMO would have better fuel economy and thats about it.
However i would love to put this to the test so if anyone in my area has a 5spd let me know
