Looking for T5 Shifter

What's a good T5 shifter on a 89 V8 Camaro? I was looking at Hurst Billet short shifter but what if I dont want the short shifter, is there a "normal" shifter with straight stick that's better than the stock one?

The short throw is one of the best things I've done to my car. The shifts are, of course, shorter, but they're also more precise and firm. As far as I know, there's nothing near OE than can compete with an after market piece. Highly recommended.

Last I look summit wanted 190 for the Hurst . Fastmustang (ebay)sells the Pro5.0 for 170 shipped . He is SLOW to shipp though . If you need it by a certain date make that clear before you buy.
