Best idea I heard in awhile Alex,

I could've used some help installing my veraram (taken less time with necessary tools), did it myself though.

I would like to try the anti-venom mod and see if it works well with my stock shifter.

If ya'll need a place to work on, I can offer my my house/garage as well, and some ice-cold brews

I did the Anti venom mod. A little bit of a pain reaching up to get to it in my garage for sure. I found that it helped free up the shifter between shifts. Its hard to explain kinda. When your shifting from gear to gear, it was not a perfectly smooth shift. Once you hit the neutral position the shifter felt like it paused there for a sec, then would slide into the gear you wanted. I don't think I'm describing this very well... It helped reduce that feeling.

Also I found it helped make my shifting feel not as stiff. I liked the improvement and it helped when I installed the B&M shifter later.

Sure.... when the mod location is set up and the time I can try to make it. I'll have to check with my boss though (wife)...

Its super easy though, just remove a bolt and install the anti venom bolt. Its just a pain to get to it though. The higher the car is lifted, the easier it is. I heard that some folks just get a washer to add to the bolt. I'm not sure what sizes they are using though. You might want to do some research on that.
