Short Throw Shifter
I was looking at the SLP short throw shifter and the B&M shifter the SLP is priced significantly lower. I definitely need a short throw. Does any one have any info or suggestions on either of these?

Re: Short Throw Shifter
The factory Hurst is NOT the same as the SLP or Hurst Billet Plus. Everyone I've talked to who actually used the Billet + or SLP really liked them. The only ones I've heard say anything negative about them are the ones that don't know they are NOT the stock Hurst or are still running the stock lever.
I've also heard many say the B&M Ripper sucks too. Whether it is the best is VERY debatable. I've read to many negatives about them to buy one.
People rave about the Pro 5.0, but it feels notchy.
