I will believe it when I read it officially about the 6.1L getting MDS, on top of this, I would tend to believe that if that was done to the 6.1L, it would only be available for automatic models since the MDS isn't being offered with the manuals. I believe that we are going to see some improvement somewhere whether it is a larger engine or an update or upgrade before long for the 6.1L since last year the 4.7L got an update, this year the 5.7L got an update. It is only logical that the top engine will either be improved or replaced with something better.

The gearing of the manual transmission is enough to pretty much match what effect the MDS has on the 5.7L with the automatic; therefore, it would seem that the manual will help the SRT significantly either way.
