Default Short Throw Shifter?

Just came back from the track and after missing 3rd gear on two runs I've decided to buy a new short throw shifter. I'm looking for opinions on who makes a good product. Thanks in advance.

I have a pro 5.0 and it really is nice and short. It has nice small clicks to get from gear to gear.

Went with the Steeda. Mostly because of price. Found someone who sold it to me for $160 cash. No tax. Was a pain in the a$$ to install. Mainly because I had to remove the entire consol. Certainly crisper then the stock unit due to the removal of the rubber bushing However, its not much of a shorter throw. (And yes, I did adjust the stops)
