why spend $100 on Revo?

after reading all the threads on the revo ss short shifter, ive decided that id rather try to shorten the shifter myself; considering that's all the revo is (right?). if i screw up, i can just go ahead and buy the revo. So- does anyone know exactly how tall i should cut it? i read on revo's site that it's 1 1/2" shorter than stock. but i dont think thats exact. will there be excess shift boot floppin' around after im done with this?

later on, i might also consider getting a short shift adapter.

i thought the shrot shifters for our cars are just adapters that mess with the length of the cables making the shifts shorter....maybe that's the DC sports one...

revo makes an entire shifter assembly. SOHC, just chop it and post your findings so i can decide whether or not to do it

I cut my stock shifter and it looks cool. What I did was cut it with a dremal but left one full thread on the shifter so the stock **** will go back on if I want it to. I'll try to get a pic.

I cut the threads off, but left one on in case I have to replace the stock ****. About an inch, maybe 1 1/4

If you search "revo" on the forums there's a couple reviews and stuff on the Revo SS. I would like to get one as well. I'm thinking about it, and from what I hear it's a good preformence upgrade for a $100. I't suppose to take 30%-50% of the thorw or something. The Revo seems to be getting good reviews and I believe your able to add like a DC adapter in there if you want too. I would find the thread myself and poist the links but I'm a little lazy at the moment heh.
