Either the Turbo Action, or a PPP shift are the best...Your third link there didn't work, so I am not sure what it is.

Things to consider:

-Do you NEED rear cable entry? Some do just to keep the cable short and off the headers.

-Do you need or will you need shift assist, air or electric?

-How well and consistent are the detents, and can it miss a gear?

-Is the reverse lockout able to be used with one hand? Comes in handy when all strapped in.

Hows this?http://www.lyonsperformance.com/winters-sidewinder-shifters-p-38.html

I'm not using electronics.. i'm also having custom headers made.. I have heard a lot of good things about the PPP.. looks mean a lot to me as well so it needs to have good curb appeal!

I've had and used a lot of different shifters overthe years, mild to wild, no PPP though I like and use the Winters and Fairbanks shifters now They have the cable exit the rear of the shifter and mount the tranny cable on the back of the tranny pan keeping the cable away from the headers and starter They use a bell crank and rod to the shifte arm, real simple and reliable

I'm real intrigued by the winters shifter.. To me it looks the best out of all of them but your the only person that I have ever heard of using it.. Was is on a street or strip set up? Of course a lot of people are saying get the PPP or Turbo action and don't look back!

I really like my Winters. I've had B&M, Mr Gskt and Hurst. The Winters is the best.
