100-140 for steeda. 130-170 for B&M (B&M usually includes a new knob, for the steeda its like 30 more i believe) all depends on where ya go and who has deals, if you can find it on ebay...etc.
The throws are about the same. So you can actualy base it on, if you want your new shifters height 1" below stock or 3" below stock. (1" steeda; 3" B&M)

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

Thanks thats what i said, you just didnt understand it
The steeda moves the fulcrum point up the shaft more, hence the shorter throws.

The main difference between a cut stocker and the B&M is the overall feel of the shifter. The cut stock shifter still has that soft, spongy feel, where the B&M has very solid, firm shifts. Cutting the stock shifter is a waste of the 10 minutes it takes to do it IMO.

the cosmo is not bad, I would weld the bottom ball joint on better though, it seems to be a pretty weak weld.

Its probably the same B&M rip-off as the OBX shifter. You'd definately want to weld the lower linkage. I know first hand how bad it sucks to be stuck in traffic with a broken shifter.

I have taken pics of the stock shifter and the Steeda I bought prior to instaling. There is a noticable difference in the shaft length BELOW the pivit point (the ball). This is what creates the shorter throw. It's simple physics.
Now the B&M we all know is shorter then stock and the Steeda however the part that matters most when it comes to throw length is the shaft length below the ball and the B&M is the same as stock. So again it's rules of physics.
As far as the B&M, the more solid shifts (over the spongey stock shifts) may create the illusion of shorter/quicker shifts. All I know is I contemplated both and went WITH physics.
Now I got the Steeda w/ shift nob for $175 which is about the same as the B&M. It's your $.
Personally, as stated, I would get the Steeda and cut the length of the shaft for the overall best shifter.

teamSVTour, do you have any pics of the Steeda knob? I don't believe I've ever seen it. Bought mine without the knob obviously.

the one I got is just a plain nob. There is no "Steeda" engraving or anything. If you go to Steeda.com and click on "drivetrain" you can see the knobs. I got the polished.
The shifter is 149 w/out knob, 169 w/. The knob by itself is 25
