Mgw shifter + clutch

Thinking about buying an mgw short throw shifter and upgrading my clutch. Any thoughts? Or suggestions on a clutch?

MGW is real nice but I've been curious about the GMM Ripshift, can't find much info on it from Camaro owners. I know GTO drivers seem to like it and if I remember correctly it's priced the same as MGW.

Ripshift might be worth looking into.

Hurst isn't as good? I've heard people say their decision was between mgw and hurst..

I have the Hurst with the upgraded bushings, I am looking into the MGW, its really the only way to go for a replacement...

SPEC is really the only performance replacement now.

Until Hendrix comes out with a street slayer option for the V6....

I have the ZL1 shifter and the ZR1 clutch with the lingenfelter flywheel. Love it. Lighter clutch pedal way stronger clutch, nice smooth engagement mid way thru the pedal travel with total commitment 1 inch from the top. Best clutch I have ever had, driven, felt.

Supercharges going to add more torque then the stock one is meant to handle.

You still need the flywheel for the V6, they are really the only option for now.
