Default 5.0 shifter

Yes I know this thread is dead but don't worry I have made my decision with the 5.0. My ? now is should I get the shorter stick package to go with it from Speedinc.? Or is the the one that comes with the 5.0 good enough? Pros cons please! thanx

I didn't like the one that came with it. It was way too tall for me. I got an LSS and love it. You could get by with the one that comes on it but it still seems like a long throw to shift. JMHO

Oh I see but should I get the Speed Inc short angled stick?

I have heard only good things about Lou's short stick so I'll get that from Afterthoughts. thanx

just cut a inch off the pro 5.0 handle. ive done it twice , works great. The speed inc (straight) short handle didnt feel right. i installed the shortened angled pro 5.0 and it felt alot better. kev
