Shorter throw between gears. It's definitely worth the upgrade. I've been driving with mine for about 2 years, and its a big difference over stock. And if you use a t-handle and die, you can shorten the stick even more for an even shorter throw.
But don't go cheap on this. My buddy got one for his civic for like $10, and the thing broke in the middle of a race, most likely due to slamming it into gear repeatedly.

Yes its worth upgrading, if there are "shifter bushings" upgrade those also - only like $10

Yeah, upgraded bushings are good too, almost forgot about them. I got mine from Summit for cheap, and they might be around on eBay as well.
