    If you want cheap, look into the MP3/MSP shifter. It is about as low as the Kartboy and you can find them for about $50 if you look around.

                    The MP3 shifter is just "shorter" The whole point of a short shifter is that the pivot point is changed. Basically it sticks out more on the bottom and less on the top. It looks better but its not a real short shifter.
                    If you want to get one from an MP3 or , save the 50 bucks, spend 10 on a hacksaw and cut your stock shifter.

                      I will never cut a stock shifter again . lol .. I did that once, it was a pure hedache..
                      So how much shorter are the throws on a kartboy. I would put my pacesetter in the 323 and get a kartboy..
                      how much is a kartboy shifter anyway...?

                            Why not just buy it and have it shipped to someone in the US and then have them ship it to y ou .
                            ofcourse after some good testing...

                            ------------------
                            hmmm,
                            I think I will just put that 100 towards my new pistons for the 323 motor.
