I was wondering the same thing? I few weeks ago I came across an article in the AEV forum. They said that they will be offering a 5.7 and 6.1 kit in the future that covers the manual side of life.


I would love that I have a 6spd and with an 8 ......wow that would be insane all the time.

I think there are shops out there that are offering this option "vvt and manual"

I'm interested in it too if anyone has done it here...

I have a 5.7 vvt with a 6speed manual. I love it and i cant imagine having it any other way. Burnsville offroad did it for me back in september. The only issue im having with it is a check engine light that is caused by the ecu trying to detect an auto trans, it doesnt affect the performance at all and Burnville is working on a fix.

Yes, I have a VVT 5.7 Hemi with a Manual Transmission and I am having all kinds of programming issues with it at the present time. It would be my advise not to buy this until they have the programming issues resolved. Do not listen to any crap about there being no problems-there is a litany of problems. Two serious issues being that my cruise control does not work and the engine check light is on. One of the other minor issues is that the dash shows a shifting display for an automatic, which is bizarre looking. I have other issues, but not worth going into detail at this time, as I am waiting to have these issues resolved by the shop which performed the upgrades.

I dont know about other states, but in the state of Texas, they will not grant issue of an inspection sticker if the check engine light is lit. I heard that there are other owners with vehicles that are suffering these issues. If these problems are not resolved prior to March, I will have no other recourse than to seek legal action against said shop.
