The MT picks up the rest of the HP with the higher redline.

For 06+ : Cuz Torque converter cant handle the extra rpm, at least in the long run

For 04-05 : Cuz Its a 4 port engine.

My mistake, the 6 spd MT and the 6 spd AT have the same engine, the only diff is the redline now that picks up the last few HP.
