The fulcrum point is the ball. All shifters move at the fulcrum point.

It's what you can't see(BELOW the fulcrum point) with the Steeda installed, that makes it the shorter throw. The shaft below the fulcrum point is lengthened, compared to the stock/B&M shifters. This creates further travel on that end, with minimal travel on your end(hand).

GTO does have a point, but I'd have to say that it all depends on how far you cut the stock shifter. There's a LOT of room on that shaft to cut, so you could potentially make it insanely short.

Your best bet, and what Elky did, is to cut the Steeda shifter down ~1", and install the B&M lockout mechanism(shorter than the Steeda). This will create the shortest throwing shifter available.
