I'm sure you could, but why. That thing looks like it belongs on a Honda, not a Camaro. Just get a switch and mount it somewhere on the dash.

yes, you could, but you would need to use 2 buttons, and 2 relays.

Thanks Ryan for the info. I wasn't going to use shift boot on this thing, just the **** w/ switch.

Have been looking into shift *****, and thought it might be cool to have the switch for the cut out right there at my finger tips. I'm more leaning towards a Momo **** anyway.

Or do those just look like they belong on a jetta? :p

I think you should sell your camaro and get a crx or something, at your finger tips??? How hard is it to mount the dizam thing where your ash tray is or your tracation control (if applicable) They Mccord sells cutout switches that look like factory peices. Just my .02 i believe in keeping the interior stock looking, most places have the right idea, when you start modding the inside it starts to look like crap, i've seen way to many pep boys painted interiors with flame ball grips, looks like a civic.

All in all, i think its a cool theory. Dont have to remove your hand from the shifter, in order to open the cutouts...

But as far as it being THAT shifter....Rice Rice Baby, is all i need to say.

There are old school shifter producers like Hurst and B&amp;M that make more traditional shift ***** with buttons in them.
Just a thought. I doubt that they make them to thread right on to an F-body, but the riceboy parts you are looking at don't either. Set-screws or adapters are in your future if you want a **** with a switch.

I got an idea while on this subject...
Why not hook your cut-out to a throttle activated switch? Set it to activate only on hard accelleration... the only time you need the extra flow.
Good luck
Dave
