Default Shortest short throw shifter???

I currently have the pro 5.0.. don't really like it. I had the B&M Ripper in my 2K TA before it was totaled, and I liked that shifter, but... I want to know if it is the shortest. From what I have gathered...

B&M Ripper = 30% shorter throw

Hurst + Lou's Short Stick = 20% shorter throw

Pro 5.0 + Lou's Short Stick = 17% shorter throw.

Inputs??

You dork . Pull the handle off and chop 1 1/2 inches of the threads. Short and precise. That is why they have so many threads on the handle.

Listen here you tall lankey funkey faced boobie-hatch picture taker...

I already promised the Pro 5.0 to the guy that bought the tranny from the 2K TA. So.. I have to buy a new shifter.

Then buy another Pro 5.0 Power Tower and get a short stick. Why did you sell a shifter that you want to buy again...........

pro 5.0 with a short stick is way shorter than the B&M ripper. I had a B&M ripper and sent it back after having it installed for about a week then got the pro 5.0 with LSS. The pro 5.0 is the shifter to go with. Why didnt you like the pro 5.0?
