not sure what you mean by tuned 5 speed? you mean built 5 speed and built AND tuned auto?

STRAIGHTLINE SPEED AND POWERHOLDING CAPABILITY (only two advantages of the auto (in general) at 400+whp levels, if lower then auto's get triumphed by a built manual) do not mean everything when choosing a tranny.

A tranny should add to all areas of a cars performance have a good balance of improving the afore mentioned straight line speed and power holding capability as well as in braking and handling. The number one thing a tranny should add to is the heart and soul of the car.
