My car only has 24k miles on it, so i don't think the hurst in it could get any tighter, theres is next to no play in it. I just wanna know if the 5.0 shifts better.

Ripper is cool...but my main complaints are 1) you cant remove the handle, which makes changing it or modifying it difficult. 2) the pro 5.0 feels better...tighter, notchier, more precise.
and yeah, there are approx a billion threads about these two...haha.

For those that say the Pro 5.0 is too loud 
Our cars are muscle cars not silent luxury cars.

I drove my Roadmaster with a Pro 5.0 shifter for a few thousand miles and loved it. Drove my new T/A with the Hurst shifter the previous owner put on it before I swaped it for my pro 5.0 and it was o.k. Never drove a T56 car with the stock shifter but I definitely love my Pro 5.0

I had a factory hurst, then I put a UMI short stick on it. I love the angle it gives. Then I bought a pro5.0 and put the UMI short stick on it and that is my best setup to date. Also, I have no more noise than with the stock hurst. I used a good amount of gasket maker though and let it dry and then installed it.
