I guess the biggest question is what type of driving will you be doing?

If it is just for cruising to take in the sites and enjoy the ride then a 5 speed is all you need plus some.
If you are highway speeds then the added overdrive will save gas and rpms.

I took mine out yesterday for a cruise to enjoy the weather and the ride, a few spirited take offs but mostly leisure cruising. Rarely got into 5th gear as all the motor would do in this application is lug as I was at speeds under 50.

Mostly 3rd and 4th gear so if I had a 6th gear I would never use it. No need for it, the Roush 427Sr/Tw runs best at about 1800 + rpm otherwise it lugs.

Henry come on down and I will go over my car with you so you can make an informed determination.
