Another vote for the Pro 5.0 W/LSS. I wouldn't expect any gains in performance other than crisper shifts and no more missing 3rd gear. Although the weight savings might be worth .00006749 in the 1/4 Very easy install. I think it's on install university , check there.

I have a UMI short stick on my stock non-hurst shifter. The UMI feels very solid and direct while the stock one was very tall and didn't give much feel.

2 obvious answers.

1. pro5.0 with short stick.

2. factory shifter with short stick.


budget should be your limiting factor...

well, in all actuallity....probably nothing.

BUT... it will help you hit each gear quicker and more accuratly, which MAY give you a .10 but dont count on it.
