Default shorter shift lever = quicker shifts?

ive been looking into getting a short thro stick and bushings blah blah blah and a friend of mine said that replacing the stock shift lever with a shorter one would also quicken up shifting. i did a search and i cant answer my question.

Here's another opinion for you to factor in your decision:

One of the H-T sponsor's (MrHeeltoe) sells them, you can probably find his thread and some comments/reviews.

it wont make for quicker shifts, it will just shorten the throw and give it much more positive shifts, gets rid of that spongy feeling that comes with a stock shifter

Actually it does shorten the throw between gears. Shorter shifter, shorter throws. Example: Shift with a 10 foot pole then shift with a 1/2 foot pole. Takes less time with the 1/2 foot pole. I don't recommend a 10 foot pole, but I used that size to prove a point.
