Anyone have any input on Cosmo Racing Short Throw Shifters and WAI?

I was thinking I could return the B&M and buy these two things...

together, those two things are cheaper than the B&M lol. And I get twice the performance... Same either way with the throw % and an extra few HP with a better Ram Air than my custom WAI.

Keep the B&M. It's probably the best short shifter you can buy. No point in getting rid of a high quality part just to get another one of lower quality. Just get the new intake in addition to the B&M.

how do u figure it is higher quality?

Same milling, same material.. different name.. Size is the same..

the only thing that can be different is the box, instructions, and customer service..

oh, and maybe mounting materials

the cosmo isnt a short shifter!!!!! i bought one, looks awesome and all, but all it is is a shorter handle, not a shorter throw..that ebay thing is a POS

LAF^

The center ball join is like a fulcrum. And the shorter the handle is from the end to this ball join, the shorter the throws will be. This is a true short throw shifter. Hence all that makes a short throw is a shorter handle. There is no other type... This is the same as the B&M. There is no way if the handle is shorter, the throws are not shorter... Short throw is truly meant for ergonomics, not really performance...

hence, if u cut ur standard shifter, it makes it a short throw...

Let me show u...

12-14-2006, 04:14 PM

and if the handle is shorter, than that means between the top and central joint, because the joint cannot be moved for mounting reasons

So basically u are saying the B&M isn't a true short shifter... Because it works the same way and is the exact same size. Throws will not feel more than about 10% shorter, but u have to do the math with the ratio of ur own throw compared to the base. both ends. That is how they come up with their # of 30some percent.

isnt the B&M a shorter distance between the2 "balls"(sorry for the lack of grammar, i've been workin in fumes for 8hours)

how bout if you are sold on the stupid thing... buy it... stop asking people about it so you can argue with them.

negative, they cannot be different. Otherwise u would have to modify the mounting or the cable lengths.

if u shortened the distance between the balls, it would make for larger throw distances for the human, and little distances for the bottom. Meaning that would be a increased throw shifter haha.

no worries about the grammer. fumes from what?
