Re: Mirrored Super Shifter

In 2008 we ran stock SSs without reassembling them, and we achieved the "mirror" by rotating one 90*. This puts a CIM up higher, so it's a bit less efficienty CG wise, but it puts the shaft in the right spot. You're talking a very marginal difference in CG (I want to say 2.5 lbs * the 2.5" inches it's moved/ 150 lb total... so like .05 inches).

Going into the 2009 season, we designed around repacking SS guts into our own setup, and we did actually internally reassemble them to be perfect mirror images.

It's possible either way, I really recommended the first option though, a lot easier.
