Best/Least Complicated Shifter for Racing

X2 on the B&M Pro Ratchet, forward or reverse. So easy even a caveman could shift it.

One caveat you might want to be aware of when buying a shifter is where the cable exits. The cable on the Pro Ratchet/Hurst etc. are generally front exit and can be a little tricky to keep away from heat, etc. There are different length cables available to aid in installation.

As an example, I moved the Pro Ratchet shifter mount in my car back a little and the new location caused the cable to lay right on the headers. I had to switch from their 'Super Duty' (thicker jacket) 5 foot cable to a 4 foot regular cable to keep it off the header tubes.

I know the Cheetah has a rear exit cable, not sure on the Winters or PPP.

i lost a cable to header heat and replaced it but added that heat shield tubing and has never been an issue
