The Boomba ‘Ultimate Shift Package’ is really a MUST HAVE! Why? Because it’s a complete solution! From the shifter itself, all the way into the engine bay at the shift-cable bracket. A total improvement at every intersection of the shifting experience in these cars. No BS.
MORE PRECISE SHIFTS
The Boomba Ultimate Shift Package will clean up ‘slop’ between gear changes… that you never even noticed you had. Your car will be more impressive, more precise, more engaging, and more action-ready. Shifting will not be any ‘harder’, but the car will clearly have a more mechanical, less numb/airy feel to it.
FASTER SHIFTS
When you buy the ‘complete package’, you get the option for up to a 40% reduction in throw! That means you will shift faster. That ALSO means… (if you have a Cobb Accessport)… your flat-foot-shifts at WOT will be insanely quick!
INSTALLATION
The ‘complete’ Boomba kit includes:
—The Boomba short shifter
—Boomba solid aluminum shifter-base bushings
—Boomba solid aluminum transmission cable-bracket bushings
—The Boomba transmission adapter plate
All this stuff is designed and MADE right here in the USA. And Boomba Racing has videos and/or step-by-step photographed instructions for each of these pieces online… which REALLY help guide you through the install process without stress or uncertainly. Install took me maybe 3 hours. And that was at a snail’s pace… photographing, answering emails/calls, and eating lunch on the side.
