Default Notchy short shifter ???

I have a slightly modified 02 Zo6 that I like to occasionally drag race. I currently have a BPP s/t shifter that I don't like. I changed the position numerous times and can't get rid of that annoying "notchy double click" feel when I shift. I think It slows down my shifts! Does anyone make a short throw shifter that's smooth. Granted, I don't mind the extra push needed with a shorter shifter, but the notchy crap is annoying at the top of the shift, as well as noisy!!!
Thanks and SEE YOU ALL AT CARLISLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new MTI shifter is not supposed to be notchy. See attached thread:

I've heard other people say this new shifter is notchy as well. I also have the BPP, and the short throws, and precision is worth the change from stock, but it is very notchy. I think the amount of hesitation between gears varies from car to car, so your results may vary. Good luck, and let us know how it works out.
