Thanks, I was looking at the UMI short stick it is only $26.00. I will eventually go Pro 5.0. In the meantime I was looking to shorten the shifts and help prevent missing gears at the track.

SFC are the way to go, depending on future mods it will help with chasis flex and nip all those issues associated with it in the butt. As far as the shifter goes, if I understand you right the UMI is just the stick? I'm with 777, get the 5.0 or Ripper Shifter and actually feel how tight each shift is, the feel of the aftermarket shifter will also help prevent bent shift forks because you can feel the shift, crisp and clean!

Definately do the SFCs (I got the 3 point UMI, and they really stiffened the car up)
If you have the hurst/slp shifter (you could get as an option) try the UMI short stick, I bought a used stock hurst, and the short stick, and that (for me) is the perfect combo, no need to go spending $150 on a pro 5.0, ripper, etc, give it a try, you might like it (even if you have to buy a stock hurst first, it's still cheaper than the others, if you get the shifter used)

I doubt it will be that bad. It will probably hit further south down near Tampa.
