Yes you will get more RWHP with a manual T5 vs the 4 spd auto, hard to say exactly how much.

Just as a point of comparisson, i have just had a manual conversion completed on my I6 and the dyno reading has increased by 10rwkw. You would probably get a bit more being a V8 though.

Manuals an option, you could just beef up the auto a bit and ad a high stall. A manual will give higher numbers on the dyno, but you have to decide whhat you want out of your car.
