Damn! I guess I should have looked a little further into it... I saw good things about the JBR set, and I will be installing the plate, bushings, and knob tomorrow afternoon. I also grabbed my AP this afternoon... The guys at Edge stayed a little bit late and let me swing by after work to grab it... Pretty damn good customer service!

I had a JBR plate in conjunction with the TWM, my throw was like 2 inchs. lol. but it was SUPER notchy and didn't really feel good to drive.

I bought the Ralco STS, TWM knockoff, and after feeling mine vs @Auroraaxela, they're pretty much the same, mine was half the price of TWM's.

I put a stiffer reverse spring, damn this is badass.

Corksport is currently working on an adjustable STS that is supposed to be fairly priced, so i would wait a little and see what that brings.

That Ralco STS does look like a damn good deal... I got the JBR plate/bushings/knob installed this afternoon, and the difference is night and day! You guys had me a little worried, but I actually really like the feel. The shift between 1st and 2nd, as well as 2nd and 3rd, feels a million times better. I'm now even more excited about getting the tranny oil swapped out.

I also ran a couple logs with the AP... I didn't have the chance to get to WOT in 4th gear, but I got a pretty good log in 3rd. Fuel Pressure held pretty solid between 1660 and 1720... anybody have any thoughts? I feel like I may need to just do the internals swap to be completely safe...

1660-1700 sounds stock. I would get internals if it were mine. (autotech)

Thanks for the help guys... I will be picking up the internals tomorrow, as well as a Cobb RMM... Wallet takes another hit, but I feel like I'm getting pretty close to having my car where I want it to be.

Haha I'm going to have to cut myself off here shortly... either that or meet the wrath of my fiance, and risk her throwing me out of our apartment... then again an upgraded exhaust might actually be worth those consequences... :D
