Default Hurst Billet Plus Shifter

I just installed this shifter a couple of weeks ago and the 2 to 3 shift is not positive at all i missed 3rd 2 times in a row . Has anyone else had this problem? I had a ripper in before and I have a Pro-5.0 at home I'm just trying different shifters to see which one I like better, want a shifter that I can powershift real hard into 3rd and not miss. This is not the case with the hurst, do you think the pro-5.0 will be better? sorry about the long post Thanks

The Pro 5 is awesome! I haven't missed a 2 to 3 shift yet.

My friend with a 94 T/A has one of those Billets, and he seems to like it pretty well. I haven't driven it, but he said the shifter throws aren't much shorter than his stock shifter. I don't think he's had problems hitting 3rd, but I think a Pro-5.0 would be a little more race friendly, but my guess is that the Billet might feel a little more like the stock shifter and a little less notchy than the 5.0.
