5 spd

After a light burnout, I stage the car. Bring the RPM to about 4000 and wait for the first yellow. Pump the throttle once, twice, then out comes the clutch. I drive into the clutch, with a low RPM initial engagement to get the car moving without tirespin. I will not attain full throttle until higher RPM in first gear, when boost is at 16 PSI. Just before second gear upshift, I hit the button on the GReddy remote. When I come back on in second gear, the boost will rise to 28 PSI and the car makes a major move. This boost is then maintained through the rest of the track, and I run through the lights in the top of fourth gear at over 120 MPH.

i think its 5 speed. he talks about replacing the clutch, and nothing about a torque converter. then he talks about how the boost level changes from first to second... which could be auto but not likely. then he says with some practice he got the time down there. you dont really need to practice with an auto do you? just press the pettal
