I've been running a 5.0 with LSS for awhile now. Always had trouble powershifting, especially into 3rd, and had to use a little extra force to get it in all gears. Went back to the longer Power Tower and it gives me more leverage to slam the gears, I can actually shift quicker. The LSS was just too short for me.

Lou's Short Stick and the factory Hurst shifter in my car, and I love it. I didn't think it would make a big difference, but it made my shifts much more secure. If you have the factory Hurst, adding the Lou's stick is a cheap mod. If you don't like it, you can always buy a Pro 5.0 or a B&M Ripper later.

Does anyone find that it is much harder to shift into gears (due to leverage)? And if so, does it affect your 1/4 times? Just asking because I just installed an LSS and don't get me wrong, i love the thing, I just find it pretty hard/notchy to shift at times. And I'm not quite sure that this is helping my times as much as it is helping the arm with those much shorter/better throws.

I have the factory Hurst with LSS and love it.
I tried the Pro 5.0 and didn't like the noise and had problems with it returning to the center.
The short stick makes a huge differerence on the factory Hurst.
