stealth pro ratchet, thing is kick ***. Some don't like ratchet shifters, but the cable setup was super easy and it has a great positive feel.

Thanks for the input! Im not a huge ratchet shifter fan, Good to hear results with them! All the ones im looking at for my car are cable set up. Dont think a mechanical linkinage type would work so well on a f-body.

I used a B&M Hammer in mine and personally I loved it. I mounted it under the stock M6 console and used the M6 shifter boot to cover it. You'll have to clearance the underside of the console top plate a little to allow for the movement of the shifter's mechanics, but it was worth it, looked factory when done.

B&M Pro Rachet. It'll fit in the stock shifter location pretty good. That's what most people do.

What size tires and with what transmission? This should help.
