Default 5th Gen short throw shifters/adapters...what's the best?

Okay, I have done the searching on this, so don't go tell me to read prior threads or n e thing.

supposedly forbidden motorsports is in development of a shifter for the 5th gen, and i have no doubts that once it comes out it will b the best one out there.

I found two other ones:

Fidanza short throw shifter (adapter?):
http://www.ultrarev.com/produc...36045

DC Sports Short throw shifter (adapter):
http://www.ultrarev.com/produc...78521

i know that alot of people say the DC sports one sucks, but i've never heard n e comments about the fidanza one. and for the price, i'm about to just order it n e way to find out for myself lol

n e one have/heard of experience w/ the fidanza one?

i dont kno about the fidanza but i see all short shifters being the same in how they perform but i may be wrong. to get my short shifter on my 5th gen i just went to a local shop and the guy gave me a list of them all they stock all different brands but all the prices were different. there was like a 20 dollar one a 49 dollar one and like $100-400. i just said ill take the $49 and its works great after it wore in and it has a very short throw.

i am not sure about other brands, but i've had a DC adapter for about 5 years now and cant complain at all...shortened the gear throw a significant amount, and i imagine that paired up with a short shifter it would be a nice combo

Pspec just made a new one for the 5th gens. There are a lot of moving parts but it looks sweet. I wonder how that one works compared to the FB 4th gen seeing there isn't one for the 5th gen yet?

i would get the pspec one, but i dont really want to go spending $220 on it. plus, i think the 5th gen shifter length is not that bad, so just shortening the shift itself would be enough to make me happy. I think I'm goin to order the fidanza one; it looks good, the price is super low, and fidanza is a well known reputable company, so i trust them. thatis, unless anybody has anything bad to say about them...
