The quicksilver handle was bought seperatley from summitracing, it comes w/ the one pictured. I have no idea if manual knobs will fit, and iv wondered this myself too. I still like the knob i have regardless tho.

They are delayed because the shifter doesn't really make it an equivalent of a manual valve body. The auto trans shifter will shift when:
- the right speed (MPH) based on the throttle position (TP) is reached
AND
- the shifter position will allow the next gear
Let's say you're in 1st and you floor it. If you're in "D" which allows upshifting to any gear, it will shift into 2nd when it reaches the MPH for the TP. If the car gets to the designated MPH for the current TP but the shifter is in "1", it will not shift into 2nd. Once you pop it into "2" it will upshift. However, if you pop it into "2" before reaching the MPH, it won't shift. Both conditions have to be satisfied for it to shift. What you're seeing in the video is the shifter is getting bumped up into the next gear before the MPH/TP is reached. Bumping the shifter really means "allow upshift when the EEC is ready" not "upshift now!"
One solution is to set all your shift points really low using an Xcal. Then use the B&M Hammer Shifter to shift. Having the shift points set low will ensure the first condition is satisfied and the EEC will be waiting for you to bump the shifter up. The downside is if you drive in "D", it will keep shifting early.

this is true, but a great part of the reason i wanted this was for the easy downshifts. And w/ my shift kit it will downshift right when it's told to from any gear, for better or worse - lol.
Thats what I was trying to say except you made it sound better. lol
I looked on B&M's website and the 5-spd shift knobs are different. I guess I will buy the quicksilver knob at the same time I buy the shifter. We have a summit racing store about 15 min from where I live so I will be buying this soon.
This shifter will be fun with my new valve body.

Shot a vid today of it at full throttle (well mostly, traction and narrow road made me not stomp the floor). It's uploading
Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RAtmpxzL7Qw
sorry if it's a bit choppy, i shot it on a slow memory card

Well here's another one then, the aftermath as i like to call it:

power wise? Not a lot more, more like much more general car mods. Besides those, Steeda underdrive pulleys, a reworked Steeda CAI. The X-pipe and side pipes. A reflashed X-Cal2 tune.
new coil packs, spark plug wires and the correct spark plugs actually helped too
But that's all i can think ofThat is almost the same exact mods I have now. I have the 3.73's, PI intake, Accufab plenum/tb, Mac CAI, o/r x, magnaflows, and my stage 3 trans from BC Automotive is going in this weekend. They build awesome transmissions.
In about a month I am getting a 4200 stall converter from DirtyDog Performance.
The only thing left that I haven't had built is the motor and I have an aluminum shortblock sitting waiting on forged pistons and rods and a lil shot o nitrous
Picking up my PI heads this weekend too.
Did that torque converter make a big difference for you? I have heard that they are an awesome for any auto.

I knew that. It was more of a general audience response not specifically directed to you.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I don't ever recall seeing that knob. I had a B&M Quicksilver in my '66 F100 and the knob wasn't like that.... That one's cool! I am preparing to put an AODE in my '89 GT (turbo'd 357W), and I've been trying to decide on a shifter. I know I'll need to replace the handle because I want knob with a button for my linelock. I did see the standard one with the button, but I didn't see one like what you have...
Good vids!
