whats the best shifter for 1/4 mi you think? roush throw, steeda tri-ax, or hurst short?

I can't speak about any of those.BUT what I can speak about is the Saleen short throw adaptor. It's only $29, installs in about 10 minutes, and reduced the shift length by quite a bit. They say on their web site that it reduces by 30%. I have no idea if it was 30% or not, but the distance between 1st and 2nd is only maybe 2 inches, 3 at the VERY most. Plus it actually improved the shift feel quite a bit.

hawgman,

I got it, install was easy althought the instructions they send have black and white pictures, once you get under you can figure it out. Someone has posted a write up on the install with better pics but I don't know if it was this forum or another.

so is the short shift adapter the best bang for the buck shifting wise then?

hawgman

Not going to say it is better than one of the aftermarket shifters because honestly, I don't know. After all, the aftermarket shifters do have stops, some have springs, etc. But as far as best bang for the buck, I kinda think it is actually. I was very impressed with how much it shortened the throw, and how much firmer the shifts felt.

Here is a picture of the part.

i was going for the steeda tri-ax or the pro 5.0 just because it has the overshift protection built onto it, and when i am slammin gears... i am SLAMMIN GEARS!!!!
