Default Help on choosing shifter

This may have been done before but just wondering if i could get your guys input on these shifters (feel,throw, noises,etc.)
MGW, STEEDA TRIAX, HURST(billet)
Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks.

out of those i would go w/ the MGW bc a lot of people recommend it over others. i have a pro 5.0 and i ain't got no complaints, its smooth, finds 3rd very easily, not too notchy, a little hard getting into 5th and rev but i think thats the trade off when finding 3rd is so easy.
i have only driven the pro 5.0 and the hurst, and out of those 2 the pro 5.0 i like better bc it feels smoother.

Like Onederful100, I have the Pro 5.0 and love it. From your list, I think the MGW is the best.

I personelly like the Steeda Sport. Its throw is smooth and shorter than stock and cheaper than the MGW. I have been satisified with the sport since my first install. But MGW does make a good shifter as well.

I have to agree with Brian about the MGW....I have one and its smooth like butter....very adj throws (have mine at 6 turns) and you can find third very easily....No problems with 5th or reverse (after the K member brace and TQ limiters-FI FTW)
