I’m looking into both the blowfish racing and the full tilt boogie bracket for my 2019 GT. I’m just wondering what the opinions and experiences have been with either of these. I will be changing the trans fluid at the same time. Wondering about the experience with these bracket with removing the trans weight.

I installed the blowfish on my '15 GT and am very happy with the results. I was getting locked out of 2nd gear at high rpm shifts, but all seems good after the blowfish. I did experience a pretty bad rattle from the reverse lockout collar, but that was fixed by installing the steeda billet aluminum collar.

I installed the Blowfish 10k miles ago. It didn't help my 2nd to 3rd nibble, but the shifts feel more direct. The shifter gives a slight vibration, like a top loader, whereas no feedback at all in stock form. I also have the audible vibration from the lock out collar. The instructions describe an adjustment that should help alleviate this, but have not gotten to it.

I have the FTBR bracket and it makes the shifts feel more precise as there’s less movement now. I changed the trans fluid prior to the bracket and that helped some. After the install of the bracket, the 1st-2nd nibble I had was gone, unless I’m driving the car in temps below freezing (which is rare) I do have a rather loud buzzing from the reverse lockout collar, so I switched to the Steeda billet one and it actually didn’t change at all. It happens at certain rpm’s and loads so I’ll just deal with it for now

I do also plan on getting a fairly heavy weighted shift knob so I’m wondering if that’ll dampen any of those vibrations. I’ll try and find/link the thread that talks about the FTBR bracket

Been 7 months and Just got around to adjusting the Blowfish Bracket. A small angle adjustment to keep it from touching the bottom of the shifter and vibration gone.

I have the FTBR, I'm very happy with how locked in place the shifter is now. I was able to get the o-rings in well enough to minimize the rattling, but I might get a new lockout collar eventually. No complaints other than that.
