Default What is the best short throw shifter for the LS1??

What short throw shifter is the good to use? The B&M, kirban, pro 5.0, Lou stick, Hurst are all of them pretty much the same? Like in size and design? What differs between of all the short throw shifters that are in the market? What do you guys and gals like and perfer to use? Also any pics?

I have a pro 5.0 (PT) on my car. Its an LT1 but the same T-56 youve got in your hands. I really like it. No effort at all going through shifts.

I can't comment on the rest but I have the Pro 5.0 with a LSS and I won't use any other shifter.

Been having problems with my B&M shifter so I don't recommend it. I'm considering the Hurst or the Pro 5.0. Only because I've driven cars with both and they feel better than mine.

Same here, I'm very happy with this setup.
