RP Supercat or AFE shifter or what??

I can't decide which way to go.

Although both are very different applications, which would be the best investment? I would like to add some power to my 8, but have heard great things about the AFE SS.

For those with both products, which one has been more rewarding?

well on one hand the supercat will sound great and add power.... but the SS is so much fun. i would say ss cuz it makes the shifting so much smoother. it goes quicker and it feels nice. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! get redline for your tranny and diff.....!!!!!!!you will love it. i promise between redline and the SS you will not be sorry. then again you could go with the supercat and redline to feel a differnece in beoth areas shiftnig and power

What if I threw the Racing Beat ECU flash into the equation? Would the vote still go to the AFE shifter?

i think it also depends on what you really want your car to feel like. if you really want the power then get the flash or the supercat, but if you want a daily noticeable difference then get the short shifter.
