over stock, most short shifters will be an improvement. I found the pro 5.0 a bit on the noisy side. Since I cruise more than I hit the track and have never had an issue hitting 3rd, it wasn't benefitial to me to spend that much. I have a hurst comp pro on there that I got for less than half the cost and a ws6 store short stick.
Seriously though about the "I miss 3rd gear and the pro 5.0 fixes it", you people REALLY need to work on your shift technique. It's not the shifter, it's the person.

But it never hurts to have an advantage!

Hell, that was 20 years ago!! LOLRegardless, keep doing your research to get everyone's opinion and then you can make an informed decision. I am sure the Hurst billet is a fine shifter, and I hear great things about the B&M Ripper also.
Good luck!!

One advantage of the Hurst billet is in the looks dept.
You have the choice of having either the 'old school' chrome Hurst embossed handle/stick with a 'cueball' style ****, or the regular round handle like the Pro 5.0/B&M, etc. with what ever **** will fit on those.
I don't know IF the bolt spacing is the same between the Hurst chrome handle and the Pro 5.0 (in case you wanted the 'old school' look combined with the shifting feel of the Pro 5.0)??
ANYONE know this for sure???
