it's only 1/10 seconds that your talking about, also our shift linkage isn't the strongest so you may want to keep the NLS to a minimum

With your tune & mods I would not recommend a short shifter if you plan on using the NLS feature often.

I used my TWM short shifter and NLS with no issues. The only difference was 3rd and 4th gear were shorter and little bit in 1st and 2nd. Its up to you what you want to do. Never had any issues with TWM.

I have a TWM and highly recommend it.
Might not be a lot shorter, but it is significantly smoother.
Great mod if it is a daily driver

agreed, that STS from TWM changed my daily driving a lot better, plus it was comfortable after 1inch was shaved from the stock. Wish our SS/TC's would have elbow rests that will make it even better.

Short throws dont really mean faster shift times. Its really just for comfort.
