For one the B&M does change the angle (significantly) and length (slightly) of the shaft below the fulcrum point. (I.E. a short throw & quicker shifter)


I do have a small warning for folks about the Steeda.

Remember we have a cable operated shifter. (no shift stops!) The shorter top throws of the Steeda equals significantly longer movement below the fulcrum point. (hence the need for the tower mods)
This can and possibly will break the cables. It will definitely stretch them. I know personally the B&M can stretch & break cables and it is only just a little longer below the fulcrum then stock.
The Steeda is longer than the B&M!

Shift carefully...
