    not sure of the specs but the manual will put out more because automatics lose HP by having to spin the torque converter.... i swapped mine from auto to 5speed and it was the best performance mod yet!
    Mods thus far:
    94-00 GSR intake pipe
    Custom ground cam
    Custom Catback
    Matrix springs w/ tokico blues
    17"American Racing estrellas
    Tinted windows
    Clear Bumper Lenses
    2 1/4" Catback exhaust w/ OBX muffler

    i think some dude from australia dynoded it and got 85hp at the wheels. If brand new i would say around 100 hp at the wheels. BUt dont hold me on that though.

    Rule of thumb:
    Manual Trans : wheel hp = .85 * flywheel hp
    Auto Trans: wheel hp = .80 * flywheel hp
