I'm interested to know if anyone uses any of the PPP shifters for a street/strip car?

i got the idea for this shifter from Ryan Johnson..I fell in love with it, they work great with reverse pattern valve bodies. I had a few guys help run one down for me..
This thing will give my car the Hemi ca the look I am after...
Hurst Lightning rod shifter
They can be found on ebay but the carry a high price tag...Well as a matter of fact a fully loaded PPP shifter can be had cheaper in some case..
I seen a NOS one go for $1k

Looks like the B&M Pro Ratchet is the most popular choice here. The black stealth unit is sweet looking as well. I guess I should give up the idea of trying to save my stock console now that I'm dipping into the 11's. Next thing is some decent slicks.

Cheetha has no equal on the Strip.

Pro Stick is what I have now and have used in the past, but probably won't work with a clean neutral tranny, so may have to go with a PPP.

Pro Ratchet here.

I can tell you what I don't like!

I'd stay away from a Hurst Quarter Stick
It's real easy to go from 1st to 3rd if you don't pull the lever in properly And it's a long throw back to 3rd from 2nd.

I'm paying close attention for everyones opinion also but I have a reverse manual and wan't to be able to smack the thing from 1st to 2nd without having to jump through any hoops.

Then be able to go from 3rd to nutral after I slow down a bit after the stripe.

Hope I dind't highjack the post!

I use a JVX, made by Winters I think.

I run a PPP in my car also. It's the only shifter I will ever use from this point on. It exceeded all my expectations in quality and performance..and the support is great! Nearly impossible to miss a shift of select the wrong gear. Detented gates, spring loaded, just push or pull the lever each shift. Reverse pattern or regular, front or rear cable exit, reverse lock out, trans brake and or line lock switch on the handle, neutral safety switch wiring, air shifted if you want, just many of the features...it is by far the most versatile shifter out there and performs flawlessly. Some deep aluminum tranny pans may require the cable bracket be modified. I just got mine from CRT already milled...fit perfect as it was shipped.

None of that stupid pull the trigger on one shift but not the other, make sure you move the lever sideways before the next shift..bla,bla,bla stuff that are design flaws with other shifters IMO. Straight forward or back on each shift and a super solid engagement...you know it is in gear!

Downshifting requires the trigger be pulled separately for each gear change so going back to first requires 2 gate changes, but once you are used to it you can almost work it in one movement. Reverse requires the trigger and top thumb button on the handle to be depressed...as mentioned, a little tricky at first, but there is no way you are hitting reverse by accident.

I would highly recommend the PPP for street or strip use

I just installed a B&M Stealth Pro and like it a lot. I have only had Winters in the past but the stealth is well built. Sorry the pic is so dark.

anything ratchet.

Two more things.. the PPP is completely a one handed operation.. everything is done with your thumb and fingers..

Also when driving on the street, hearing the clicks as you go from one gear to the next, there is no mistaking that you're in a race car..

You don’t have to give up the stock counsel just because you’re in the 11’s. I run mid 11’s with this. It’s a Hurst Promatic. I have a reverse manual VB.
