i have a cheap ass fidanza short throw i got from ebay. lasted me 4 years and all i did was take it apart grease it up RELLY good and cut the stick a little shorter. do i recomend it on a Budget? yeah But if you can afford a Good Shifter get one. i Love the stock hurst base though.

and i havent been in the market in a long time for a clutch but Spec last i checked was the best LT1 clutch.

For shifters - The MGW Short Throw seems to be the cream of the crop recently, and it definitely appears to be badass. I've got the SLP Hurst Shifter and Lou's Short Stick which also rocks. But if I was doing it now I think the MGW is cheaper overall and looks to be better quality.

For Clutch - I love my Spec Stage 2+ But if you need more holding power go 3+. Essentially the + is the non puck version of each stage, meaning it's a little less on/off but still holds the rated power level.

i like pizza went with the fidanza. I had no issues with it and loved it. Cant hurt that it was also cheap. I got a Spec stg 2+ for my LT1 but never got around to installing it. To bad i sold it already.
