Totally wrong forum, but there is a TON of shifter threads in the Manual Transmission Forum, and you really don't even need to search in it. Just go through a couple of pages and you'll see them.

FWIW, I have the factory Hurst and a WS6store Short Stick and love it. Great combo.

The factory hurst feels good to me. I used to have a pro 5.0 in my old mustang. Dont really feel the need to upgrade like I did with the mustang, then again the factory shifter in that thing was horrible.
