Short shifter

Hey Mike, is this for an ITS car? Short shifters are not allowed in Improved Touring, gotta use the stock parts...

I figured the rules would not allow in IT but hoped someone had used one on a street car. Also I was asleep this moring when I posted its not from modern motorsports but motorsports auto.
An yes we already have a cut and rebent one with the brass bushings but according to the add they appear to change the pivot point and say it shortenes the shift by 40-60%.
Not many people run the Z in EP (Ira only one I know of in our area now that Ahrens sold his.)and I have gotten a lot more useful info from you guys in IT (also a lot more friendly
)
So befor I spent $150 I thought I would ask around to see if its worth it. If anyone has experience in it let me know.

You probably could fab up something yourself to re-establish the pivot point. I think the kit just raises the point up a short bit (with tabs added to the original point), and has a shifter with an appropriately longer area below the pivot point to make up the difference. Found some comments on the kit here: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=16765
