its short isn't it?:P nah i didn't want to pay 250 bux for a real one, doing it my way was easy and very effective... the motors built with 93 rotors, large street port, exhaust porting, port and polished upper and lower intake, ported exhaust manifold, port matched to my turbo, 7 lb flywheel(plus 5 lb counterweight), stage 4 bonez clutch, 3" downpipe, 3" straight pipe... i'm wondering about the turbo now... if i remember right from my last TII with stock turbo the intake and exhaust side of the turbo were the same size.... but i looked at the intake side, and it said HT18... so now i dunno if they modded the stock turbo with a different exhaust housing, or what... it will push 22 psi(seen it in 4th gear, 17 psi in lower gear)... so i dunno what they did to it, whatever they did it was effective! next on the list of mods is the k2rd.com radiator and Haltech e6k

Don't know why you'd say that, I've been driving with mine for years and love it... ALthough I did feel a "real" short throw shifter recently and throw is a tab bit shorter, so I'll be getting one of those eventually.

there is a big difference between a short"er" shifter and a short throw shifter (ones you buy)

I wouldn't want the shifter any lower then stock.... you'd have to reach down to it. also shorter shifter just makes it harder to move.

short throw shifter keeps it the same length but changes the pivot point so it doesn't have to move as far to get into gear.

ok a short throw shifter means that the throw of the shift is shorter not the actual shifter it self.
