Stuck between 70mm Stack Racing throttle body/plenum or MGW short throw shifter for Christmas. What do you guys think??

MGW, but you won't get it in time for Christmas if that's a concern. Mine took about 3 weeks to get, since they machine and build everything in house. It's a quality product, made in America, well worth the investment. I'd buy it again.

Ok, you go with the tri ax shifter, but you might want to check out UPRs long handled shifter handles and knobs. Sweet things! With my knob I basically deleted the shift pattern; if you don't drive mustang you can't drive my car! The other item is the long handled shifter handle for guys that max their seats out. Ahhh, the easy reach! I love it. Merry Christmas and happy planning. Hope I got your attention. Ha ha.

Yes, it took nearly a month, but it was worth it. It's an amazing product, they have redone everything and made it a million times better than OEM, including a NEW correctly sized inner shift boot, heat shield, and a ridiculous amount of sound deadening material in addition to extra dynamat extreme they give you with the kit. The advanced engineering in the product is obvious. I removed a Steeda shifter bushing paired with the stock shifter to install this, apparently the previous owner installed it before me and I didn't even know it was there.

MGW is a totally different beast, it is a full replacement of the upper and lower shifter mechanism, it's not just a "drop-in" style. Go watch the MGW videos...it's worth the wait. I have no doubt that this shifter will last a lifetime.

It really doesn't make much noise at all. The only time you hear any noise is when your hand is resting on the shift lever while the engine is idling. The shifter is a very quality piece and I've never been so happy with an aftermarket shifter, you will love it.

I felt the same way, ordered mine a week after picking up my car, and by the time I was ready to install it (after doing a ton of other mods) it showed up at my door.

Customizing a car is all about getting the RIGHT parts for you, get what you want, regardless of how long it takes. In the end, you'll be more satisfied with the end result.

I used to have the Pro 5.0 and it was pretty notchy compared to my Steeds Tri-Ax. Everyone says the MGW is smoother than the Tri-Ax so I would shell out the extra cash for the MGW. That and I was always banging my knuckles when going into first.

I found a Pro 5.0 on eBay for $170 compared to $205 for the MGW I am getting in mid January because they ran out of stock. Should I get my money refunded for MGW and get the Pro 5.0 off eBay?? Help me out..
I got the pro5.0 and it's great. If you want to save some money I would do that. I've personally never experienced the MGW but I love my pro5.0.
