Just installed Lou's Short stick on my car - WOW what a difference. I have the factory Hurst shifter so I thought all was well. Someone suggested this mod and said it was a must have. They were right - I should have done this long ago. Best $40 I have spent in a while. Although $40 seems pretty steep for what comes in the mail - then agaion there is all of that "engineering" to pay for

You probably bent some pushrods if you put it into 2nd.
Unless LT1 pushrods are stronger than LS1 pushrods...
I know that is what happened to me, and it was costing me about 30-40 HP until I had them replaced.Former Ride: 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 - 345 rwhp, 360 rwtq... stock internally.
Current Ride: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Limited - spec.B #312 of 500

I am still getting used to it but I like it a lot. The stock Hurst shifter is mounted in a rubber bushing - the new shifter eliminates that. That's what gives it a "rubbery" feel. The shifter now feels like a ratchet - very positive throws. I have heard that adding the Pro 5.0 shifter is the next step but I really like it as is for now. It was a cheap mod that came highly recommended.Silver 02 WS-6, 6 speed, Corsa cat-back, SLP lid, K&N filter, BMR STB, !CAGs, Lou's short stick, MSD wires, MTI "Hammer" cam, ASP underdrive pulley, Hooker LTs, Hooker ORY, Comp 918s, TR pushrods, UMI Sfcs, UMI LCAs, NGK TR55s, Hotchkis springs
