It's a v-gate shifter.
I believe it's supposed to handle 1600 hp, and I would want to make use of most of that ability....
Your kidding, right? Pro-Stock cars make 1300, do you think driving a Pro-Stock car on the street would be fun? Maybe for about 5 miles. When my Camaro was pushing 550 it was too much to handle as street tires do have their limits...

With a stick, my car's unibody spot-weld seams started splitting at around 450. Having the seams fully welded and adding weld-in subframe connectors have kept it tight under grueling punishment for over 4 years...
Hurst makes a complete swap kit with headers for a big-block-to-3rd-gen conversion....
