Default BPP Shifter

Where is the best place to buy a BPP shifter? Also is this the best performance shifter for the Z06 ?

I didn't like mine and went back to stock. It rattled pretty badly at full throttle in 4th gear. I have some on track video's where you can actually hear the thing rattling over the engine and wind noise.

Love mine. A huge improvement over stock in terms of throw length, and precision. I used to miss the 2-3, and 4-5 on the stock, and it's much better with the BPP. Mine doesn't rattle at all, but then I added the old mini-boot from the factory shifter, and a MGW ****, which I've heard can help. The best part is the adjustable fit.

I put a C6 Shifter assembly in, replacing my BPP. Very stiff and tough.
