Thanks to George I was in on the early order program. Maro has been parked since Sept. Just collecting parts before going to hoist.

Parts list:

MGW Shifter
BMR: Toe links, Trailing arms, Bushing kit, Front and rear drive shaft loops and Subframe conectors
Varam Intake (still waiting) early order
ARH LT/cats
Reserving my axel back system decision till after Camaro5 Fest

With a second set of SS wheels and a pair of 20" Nitto's should be ready to rock for Friday Night Street Legals

But from all I have heard the MGW shifter rocks and I will post once it is installed.

PS: George I will be at Camaro5 Fest in Valdosta, would like to take home with me the Black Ball and what ever else i need to install it.

Let me know if that will be possible and you will be able to supply by then.

Here is my review between the Hurst and MGW. For me MGW w/Race Knob is what fit my situation.

I just received my new MGW shift kit and race knob last night. The quality is top notch.
Very, very nice kit.

Way to go MGW!!!!!

IS there a MGW kit for a ZL1 but retain my stock shifter? and just put it on the new short throw assy?

Use this to replace your shifter body and then you put your OEM knob on it.

It will work. Call MGW and ask. Scroll down to knob options and you'll see OEM 2012-2015 ZL1. The install video is using a 2014 Camaro. The SS and ZL1 share the same transmission architecture.

I tried searching and didn't have any luck, how does the MGW compare to the GM 5.1 shifter?
