Well, I have personally had a B&M, and swapped it out for the GMM. I also just installed a Billet shifter last night for a customer. IMHO, the GMM still is the best. The nasty short throws, and notchy feeling of the Billet is a bit much. And people thought the GMM was notchy. For those who say that, try a Billet.

I guess I'll go ahead and say it... The Billet Pro does loosen up a little bit with time. Hell I took it to the track two days after installing it.. 50 miles or so prior to leaving, 2 hour drive to the track all highway (not much shifting) and then 6 hard passes at the track and it feels great!
To do it all over again.. The extra $65 for the Billet Pro and adjustability of it is well worth it. Had I not gone with the B&M 2+ years ago, I'd be rowing a GMM race Ripshift!

the GMM didn't require any "loosening up" which is a good thing. there is nothing to break in or wear different down the road except the tranny. after getting my GMM race I HAVE LOOKED BACK. it's been in the rear view mirror tho at the guy in back of me

Billet hands down, B+M I had was garbage, The GMM race i drove around was longer throws and not linear, as well as noisy as hell, the billet is MUCH queiter than either of the ones i have tried and the throws are short, adjustable, and linear, it is however pretty tight side to side the first 50 miles or so. After that...pure heaven!

I love the short throws of my Billet Pro and it is hard to miss shifts unless you have a bad clutch. But I am solved that problem with the new Bird Of Prey clutch. Anyways the Billet is notchy but I like that feedback.

GMM race. good action. nice and solid. It a direct one no linkage. No rubbery feel. My friend has a hurst in his. It's nice. but all out gear slamming I like my gmm race.
