Does a short shifter really helps you when drag racing ? Any experience drivers ?? I'm thinking about getting one

/In for the discussion.
Ranked No. #1 in initial quality
Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.
you probably mean "short throw" shifter?
Built 2nd week of August 1992 as a 1 of 11 1993 Dodge Stealth R/T twin turbo (6g72 engine with stock TD04-9b turbochargers), pearl white exterior (W29), red leather interior, W5MG1 transaxle. Low mileage, just 68000 miles!
Current modifications are: VMS racing 10.2mm spark plug wires & NGK BKR6EIX-11 spark plugs gapped down to 0.32", Touren TR9 3190 wheels, Maximal high flow main catalytic converter, gutted/deleted precatalytic converters, front & rear slotted & drilled brake rotors from ebay, T-bolt stainless clamps, Curt trailer hitch, rear bumper aluminum reinforcement from a 2nd gen car, LED backup & license plate bulbs, Pioneer AVH-X2500BT with backup camera, DSM SMICs converted by oohnoo, 3S warehouse sidemount oil cooler, Hurst shifter handle, EGR blockoff plates, Stainless bolt kit, LCDBC as an ECU monitor, 3SX Stainless-Steel Braided Brake Lines, Koyo radiator with brackets, Retractable license plate holder, 3SX rear control arms, Snake eye mod, Brake Caliper Stiffening Bolts, Pilot WI-HL6A 4656 Head Lamp Conversion Kit
I much prefere mine on the 1st Gen (they have a really long throw!).
GTO-TT, PTE 1200's, M20, Emanage Ultimate, OS Geiken R3C,
TD04-16g`s, Maf-t. 13g`s 12.4@115mph / 16g`s 12.5@117mph.
Its been so long since I installed mine, but I absolutely love the short throws in my car.

now you can miss shifts FASTER and with MORE AUTHROITAH!
I've missed maybe 2 shifts in all the years and miles and racing on the Stealth. SO yeah, as long you know how to drive a manual properly, you'll be fine.
No matter how good you are, if you are driving a manual, you will miss a shift at some point. The short throw shifter makes it even easier to miss, especially going into third.

91 Stealth TT.. Retired
Ive never driven with a short throw shifter, I was thinking of buyin one from 3sx, the best one, but it sounds like it could make me lose a race as of shifting quicker.
