Question Best shifter for 4L60e trans(Show me your set up)

I have my car ready for the dyno but still have the factory shifter for my Performabuild trans. I'm looking to install a high performance shifter for 4 speed trans. but the only option I'm finding is the TCI Diablo shifter. What you guys with 4L60e and 80e are using? Please show me pics of your set up.
Thanks

the car going to be more of a bracket racing car. Is to minimize the risk of jumping gear with a ratcheting shifter.

Just program the PCM/TCM to shift at the RPM you want, place the shifter into drive and go racing. Most all bracket racing cars with Power Glides or TH400s have some short of auto shift to move the shift lever by some short of RPM switch. With the 4L60E this can be done with the PCM/TCM.

I've got a Hurst 4 speed shifter in my car with a 4l80e. Looks and works awesome.

This. I put mine in manual third and go. Thats the point of an automatic transmission is you dont have to shift it manually. It does what its told via programming and will be WAY more consistent than you
