Default I Need Opinions MTX Owners!(Or Anyone)

Ok, well a few months ago i heard of the Maddog STS while going around Srtforums and the .Org...i was planning on buying his 50% throw reduction STS since the Mopar STS which i already have and other STS's (Hurst/B&M, etc) only reduce the throw by 30% or so.
Anyway, the money wasnt in the right place a few months back but since i got my tax return i've bought the Hotchkis sways and now looking to a new STS.

So i was looking at his website and am suprised to see a 80% THROW REDCUCTION STS! Now i cant even imagine what a 80% feels like so i need to know if i should buy it and/or which one i should get...

I'd stay with what you got. How the hell can you claim 80% reduction. What is it going to do...be like flicking a light switch? I don't know how that is possible. I personally would spend my money elsewhere.

Thats what i mean, i have no idea what the 80% would feel like...i know its not a scam because i've heard way too many good things about the Maddog STS's from the .ORG and the Srtforums. I'm just afraid the 80% could damage linkage or the tranny somehow...i am seriously considering the 50% though...seems like a good "compromise"...or i can save my money and stick with what i got.


MORE FEEDBACK PLEASE!

You would have to slam the stick to change gears with an 80%. OK maybe not that bad, but it would probally be a real pain in the *** to drive every day. Also I do kind of doubt that it is a true 80% reduction in throw.
