its stupid to get a short stick with a stock shifter. that would suck IMO. but Speed INC has short sticks for 30 bucks now i think.

I tried the Pro 5.0 on my friend's 94 LT1 T/A, and did not like it at all. The Hurst is a much better shifter, and Lou's short stick isn't bad either.

the guy at Speed INC was saying how the hurst shifter sucks and everythign, and the PRO 5.0 is the way to go, but everyone ive talked to including myself loves the Hurst. i never had any problems with it and it feels amazing with a short stick such as the Lou's.

Really, never heard that. I know everyone has thier personal choice but I've never used a Pro 5.0 or the B&M Ripper.

Hasn't any one ever heard of SLP? They have the best short throw around, much better than the Pro 5 or B&M Ripper and I've used them all. I would go with SLP every time!!!!!
