Definitely interested to hear about this. I've stripped out quite a bit but have yet to have the courage to go that far. I'd love to find another hundred pounds.

Can confirm ... I couldn't go back to the stock shifter after installing the hurst. Pain to install but one of the best mods I've done. Installed the hurst with factory knob.
