i agree the stock shifter goes up... angles back, then up again, and is black... its a POS. just take off the boot, or even unhook it and look under it to see whats up w. the shifter... if it says hurst its not stock.

I want to be as fast as I can in the 1/4. I'm not to worried about gas mileage or cruise rpms just going fast. If you want to go fast you can't fear the gear.

Well I have 2.73s in it right now and at 80mph I'm just hitting 2000rpm in 5th gear. Easy way to tell is look on the door and it will say axle code and have 2 letters under it. Someone can decode those 2 letters for you and tell you what you have.
