Thumbs down Should I shorten my B&M Ripper even more? (no 56k)

i currently have an older model b&m ripper shifter with detachable shift stick. I have already had it shortened about an inch and then rethreaded at a machine shop. this showed a different stroke in shifting and was definetly noticable. right now the throw is pretty decent and i like it, but i can always go shorter. should i go ahead and remove another inch? or should i leave well enough alone?

I wouldn't go any shorter. I like the stock Hurst shifter because I have full leverage for speed shifting. The t-56 is too notchy for a short shifter IMO
