Sal at Power Surge installed my steeda short shifter last night. First off if you are on here Sal, Thanks for staying so late to install this. I showed up at 8pm with a hot car and he got right to work with a piping hot exhaust in his way.
The install took less than 1 1/2 hours with him having to work around a hot exhaust/tranny and me yapping his ear off.

The shifts are just sick. the first time I put it in 1st gear I tried like 4 times because I did not think it was in gear because the throw was so short. We set it on the shortest shift setting and I love it. I would say the shift is shorter by at least 50% or more. It is a little tight getting into 5ht gear but I am sure it will losen up a little with time.

I also installed a Bassani catback last Friday in the pouring raing that I also got from PSP. The install was very simple and took me under 1 hour total. Only issue I had was there is a little bung or nut or something welded to the stock midpipe that the stock mufflers have a little cut int he pipe to fit around it that the bassani does not. I had to grind it off, not really a big deal just a pain in the but as it was the first time I used the grinder. The exhaust note is awesome now!!!

Overall I am extremly happy with the mods. I highly recommend the short shifter as it changes the drive so much.

Waiting on my custom intake and then I am going to get a tune.

Thinking of getting the short throw as well whenever I get my car. How much was it and how much was the install?

don't remember the exact price as I bought a couple of things at the same time, i think it was 290 or something close to that. figure it will be about 1 to 3 hours worth of labor depending who you have install it.

290!!!! I got it installed for 50 by a local dude. He is a mustang enthusiast and just loved my car. I live in La Crescenta if you guys wanna know who he is.
 
I also live in La Crescenta, CA (unless there is another La Crescenta in another state). I'd like to know... was it a business or out of a guys garage.

I've got the White 05 that's usually parked in my driveway (when I'm home) on Pennsylvania just north of the 210.
