Dan,

I have a similar setup: one of Eric's 418's making 499/524 on the engine dyno, and am very happy with mine, also. I wanted more of an RPM drop into the overdrive so I have the TKO which I also like very much. It seems to be the perfect combination of big power, driveability and reasonable fuel consumption, all of which are important to me since I drive my car a lot.

I've looked at the Pro 5.0 web site and given some thought to a different shifter but would appreciate some input from someone who's installed one. Did you drive the car with the stock shifter? How much and what sort of difference did you notice after installing the shifter? Had you had trouble missing gears previously? Does the Pro bring 5th gear closer to the rest (not so far to go to the right and forward)? More definite "clicks" when each gear is engaged? Any problems?

Thanks,

Lowell
