Best Short Throw Handle. Hey guys, quick question for all of you:
With the Pro 5.0 Shifter which short handle reduces the throws more:
A. Lou's Short Stick or B. The Short Stick sold at the ws6store.com
Your input is appreciated, as I am trying to make a decision in purchasing one or the other.
PS Money is not an issue I just want the setup that will give me the shortest throws.

Hey ninetres you were able to cutoff the inch or so from your UMI because like half the handle is threaded, right?
I am thinking I would not be able to cut off anything if I got the Lou's stick since there is just enough threading on there to get the **** on.

I had a LSS style shifter and I had to shim it out about 1" with an aluminum block to keep it on the correct side, and so it wouldnt hit the console. I would suggest the UMI since its already kicked at an angle.

Going from the stock hurst to this angled one, the UMI felt like it was in a much better position, I had to get used to it for a little while, but after getting used to it, I absolutely love it. Reverse isnt a pita to get anymore either. Do you have any pictures of yours for comparison reasons? 
juat cut your stock 5.0 handle...there are lots of threads on it i cut atleast an inch and a half off and it still has plent of threads..its awsome it doesnt hit or rub on the council at all and shifts great
