to loose power at the wheels. To have a imprecise shifter, to have a slower 1/4 mile.

One member did it with his 4th gen, but he said there was not a performance gain and it was not easy.

Reason I say 6spd will be slower is that you have to shift more- which slows down the car. 5spd U can hold the gear longer- as in 100MPH in 3rd. I was told 80MPH is max on a 3.5L in 3rd by my friend who has one. I would think a 5spd 3.5L Max would be faster. I still think 5spd is more precise feeln and stronger than the 6spd.

the one with the Stillen lip ? I'm hopping to run something like a 13.8 on slicks. I ran a 14.1 last year- since then I added some more stuff. I'm still debating if I wanna get headers or JIC Magics.... I'm almost set on the Magics.
