Please do a search, this topic has been covered numerous times and in great depth before.

But one piece of advice is stick with the 6-speed manual transmission if possible.

Exactly. Half of the performance 2ZZ-GE gives comes from the short gearing/final drive of he C60 6 speed. If you swap that out for tall gearing, it will cause the car to rev up a lot slower and fall way outside the powerband after every gearshift. The torque to the wheels will suffer greatly with higher final drive (3.8:1 of the 1ZZ instead of 4.53:1 of the C60). Considering the effort and money, if you cannot get a hold of the C60 6 speed, you would be way better off doing something else with your money then since you will end up regretting.
