MGW shifter
I am thinking about installing an MGW shifter in the Ron Fellows, will I notice much difference, I have used a Kirban in my C5 but it was too tough to operate, I like more of a stock shift but shorter version.
Can anybody recommend a good installer near the Langhorne area?

I have MGW shifters in both our C5 and C6Z cars and like it VERY much. Callaway uses Kirban which feels and acts just like the MGW, but the MGW is about $100 less expensive compared to the Kirban. Ron? If you should see either of our cars you are welcome to test it out and see for yourself (you'll like it too I'm sure). 
Ps. The install is something you can do yourself.

Shifter installs are pretty easy. Not a whole lot that you can screw up. I did one in a friend's 06 GTO last month. I think it took a little more than an hour. We had access to a lift to do the job which helped because there were 4 nuts under there that we had to take off that hold on a retainer bezel. I don't think you have that issue on the Vette, so that part is easier and you don't need a lift, but the GTO Bezel came off real easy, the Vette bezel might be a little tighter.
