Short Shifter- BP, BM or Hurst
I am trying to decide which short shifter to install in my 2000. I could not find any reviews on relatively new shifter from breathlessperformance. Anyone got it? Which one has the shortest stick length?

Just had the breathless installed Friday. Much tighter than stock and WAY shorter throuws. I was a little nervous about it, but I love it.
I don't think it is too tight by any means, but it does take a little getting used to.

I like the BPP a lot. The throws are solid and short and the quality is excellent. There was a little bit of rattling, but BPP has since fixed this. The only rattle I get now is from the bulb in my Flameball.
I have the handle in place angled back with the wedge towards the driver and using the rear holes. I'm 6'0" with long legs and "regular" arms and this setup suits me perfectly. It's really easy to experiment, so finding the right fit for you is no problem. The stiffer springs take some getting used to, but I like them. Let me know what other questions you may have.

I have the breathless shifter and I love it. What first drew me to it was the different configurations you can put it in to suit your own personal driving preference. They also give you three sets of springs, soft to stiff, for the movement of the shifter. Again, this is a great shifter. :thumbs:

I absolutely love my Breathless Performance Shifter. Take a look at corvetteforum.com for a writeup on the Breathless Shifter. It's on the front page on the left side. Third article down from the top. Good-Luck with your choice. Either shifter is certainly better than stock.
