Getting ready to purchase a mgw shifter from lethal. I'm not sure if I want the x spec or race spec. The car has had some bad high rpm lockout issues and stock setup isn't liking me cobra jet manifold, and really wont like it once I install my cams. I bought a rst and aluminum flywheel yesterday, along with to bearing, and pilot bearing and arp bolts. Already have a steeda clutch line. I was seeing if anyone has experience with both shifter and which one they like more. Thanks!

Only difference is height. I opted for the x-spec standard (3rd-shortest) and then added an extra knob spacer for my Billetworkz so my entire hand would grab the shifter and not part of the boot. It's still a really short throw though. Depends how short you want it and what type of knob you're comfortable with.

Well I pulled the trigger on the xspec and am going to use the factory ball. Should feel like a whole new car with drag radials, rat clutch, mgw shifter. Before it did nothing but spin in first and second and I couldn't shift above 6800 and that was pushing it. Now shifting at 7600 or so and hooking up, can't wait!

Chad,

XSPEC FTW! Cant go wrong with anything MGW, but i personally prefer the X over the Race and that seems to be the general consensus of most other people as well!

Feel free to shoot me a message with any questions!
