A Run of 14.5 Is Possible, But I Have to Wait for My Shifter Springs to Arrive (Mine Are Missing for Some Reason). The Run I Know Which Should Have Achieved This Was Against a Mustang Who Ran a 14.865. I Was Ahead By An Entire Car-Length the Entire Run Until My shifter Hit the Gate For Fourth Gear, Causing Me to Miss the Gear and Grab a Very Disappointing 15.810. What Makes This Story Even Worse to Tell, Is The Fact That I Believe I Had My Best Reaction Time On This Run; a .605 Second Reaction.

I currently have the Hurst Comp/Plus shifter, but the throws are still a bit long, they can be a lot shorter. I'm looking for a shifter that makes them as short as the that are made for Six-speed transmissions. Does anyone know anything about the Pro 5.0 shifters? Are they shorter? The Hurst was in the car when I bought it two and a half years ago. Plus, I like the second to third "helper" that the Pro 5.0 people have engineered. Let me know if you guys have anything to say about it.
