Used a F body console model and adapted it to a 4T60 FWD. Took some getting use to for the reverse detent, park to drive and back again to park - but the upshift from low to sec, etc. is really positive and sure - unlike a stock shifter. D

I've got the Light Truck Mega shifter in my 46 on a T350.
Works good. Very positive. Once you get used to the reverse lockout, you really don't even think about it.

I think I have the star shifter in the chevelle, it is fine..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I would recomend a ratcheting shifter versus the quarter stick and pro stick. I have had the quarter stick, pro stick models while shifting to second, pass through 3rd and go into neutral when the lever is not fully seated. Thats a bad situation when you are at 7000 RPM at wide open throttle and slipping into neutral instead of third. That is just my personal opinion and experience. I took the quarter stick out last summer, skipped it across the drive way and put in the pro ratchet shifter.

Mooneye , I know about slaming third and into neutral. You see dollar bill signs Especially with no rev eliminator. Scare crap out you.

Check summit out. They are selling BM shifters on sale for the next day or so." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
