I have a Cheetah in the Valiant. I'm pretty lukewarm on it for now.
I have 2 different Quarter Sticks I have used. I will probably put one in the Valiant over the winter.
I also have a PPP that I bought for my Daytona. It is exceptionally nice, but pay very close attention when ordering.

Will it be for street/strip.. racing only.. you need to know that first.. I had a pro ratchet that was great for racing but its not a street style shifter.. the B&M thats in my Rampage is ok but I dont like that I have to be in drive to lift the lever for reverse and park

Car will (hopefully) be mid 11’s, mostly on track with the occasional cruise night. I loved my B&M pro ratchet for racing.. I later mounted the electric shiftnoid on it.. worked perfect.. I never missed a shift with it

Still using the same Turbo action shifter from the 80's. Pulled it from my Cuda when I started updating it and have used it in my Belvedere from the past 5 yrs. I will be getting another for the Cuda shortly. Never burnt a cable mine is 30 plus yrs old.
Ok

I like the Hurst Quarter Stick. I like the B&M Pro Stick better because it comes with a true Morse cable and better hardware. At least it used to. PPP is top shelf. Turbo Action/Winters shifter is like a dial telephone in a smartphone world.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I use a B&M Quicksilver. I purchased it back when the car was primarily a street only car. It still works well, but I’m not married to it. I do like the street musclecar look it offers. It uses a lift-action as the gate mechanism, so it is easily operated with one hand.

That occasional 1-3 shift is why I got rid of my Cheetah and went with a pro Ratchet. Love it.
Hooked up a Shifnoid but haven't made it out this year.

It’s kinda like you want one that’s fool proof and shifts perfect every time without thinking about it. Out of the three I’ve run.... that describes my PPP ....but I’ll be honest. A car that that’s going to see mostly street and some racing you probably don’t need to drop that kind of coin. Of course if your looking at the TCI Diablo, that ain’t no cheapie either. Looked it up online and the one “buzzword” that would bother me is the “...is a universal shifter designed for use with popular GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles, and can be configured for use with 2, 3, 4 and 6-speed transmissions (forward/reverse patterns)”. I’d really like to hear from somebody that runs one how it works. Ratchet shifters I prefer. Properly adjusted they put you in the gear you select PERIOD! T/A shifter is a gate shifter.... I got my car launching hard enough that it was making the 1-2 shift on its own. Between that and knowing what my dad went through I bought their other guide plate, but soon after sold it as I got a deal on a clean N PPP.

B&M Pro-Ratchet is all I run in my street/strip cars. Put it in and never worry about it, and it's impossible to ever miss a gear.
