shortened throws
NoRiceInsideMy95: yeah i gotta test my pro 5.0 too
FBodyguy01: yeah...saw the pic u snet me...how do u like it so far?
NoRiceInsideMy95: ******* awesome
NoRiceInsideMy95: the stick isnt short enough
NoRiceInsideMy95: so i ordered one from UMI
NoRiceInsideMy95: i like how its angled toward the left
NoRiceInsideMy95: but its just tall as hell
NoRiceInsideMy95: cutting it down didnt satisfy me either
FBodyguy01: how tall?
NoRiceInsideMy95: overall i love the shifter
NoRiceInsideMy95: well after i cut it its still 6.5"
NoRiceInsideMy95: the new one is 6
NoRiceInsideMy95: so it'll be perfect
FBodyguy01: u do know that a shorter stck dosent make the shifts shorter right?
NoRiceInsideMy95: sure it does
NoRiceInsideMy95: the shifter does too
NoRiceInsideMy95: raising the pivot point with a shifter shortens the throws
NoRiceInsideMy95: but by making the handle shorter it does too
NoRiceInsideMy95: if you say it doesnt youre a ricer
NoRiceInsideMy95: i mean measure the distance your hand goes with a foot long stick, now measure it with a 6" stick
NoRiceInsideMy95: its simple geometry
FBodyguy01: haha thats what i thought too...its not the length of the shifter..my B&M is a bit shorter than my stock one...its the angle that makes the throws shorter
NoRiceInsideMy95: what?
NoRiceInsideMy95: now youre a ricer
NoRiceInsideMy95: the angle has nothing to do with short throws
NoRiceInsideMy95: its simply comfort
NoRiceInsideMy95: raising the pivot of the shifter shortens it
NoRiceInsideMy95: then shortening the stick helps too
FBodyguy01: no im not i just know what im talking about...i asked a buddy of mine that does trannys and shifters
NoRiceInsideMy95: but the angle of the stick doesnt change the throw at all
NoRiceInsideMy95: it just changes where your hand is
NoRiceInsideMy95: your buddy is a dumbass
this is the same guy with the turbo LS1 i know. hes such a ricer.

this is the kind of stuff i always have to hear him say. like oh man with my turbo im going to run 12s. he runs a 13.7. and he thinks he knows EVERYTHING about cars. and he wont be swayed even when you prove him wrong. he says no my friend works on em all the time he knows. his friends are all ricers. hes a ricer, his dad just bought him an LS1 instead.

Ask him if his shifts give him torque like a bus is ramming into the back of his car
