What is the power rating difference for each transmission? I'm looking into getting a 4th gen Firebird and I want to know if it's worth waiting for a deal on a 6 speed to open up, if the power rating is substantially higher. It'd be a daily driver, so I wouldn't want to go crazy with upgrading it. Mostly suspension and bolt ons are what I have planned, but I'd like to have that piece of mind that the transmission won't blow on me if I take it to the track here and there.

Thank you.
