I have been using the "VooDoo" knob on my Stook for about 2 weeks now, including one agressive 10-S2K Sunday, and I can honestly say for $24 bucks, it absolutely rocks. Shifting is much shorter and the feel is great.

I also received the Computech air-filter (Computech if my memory serves me correct, if its not, I'll repost where I got it)-- but basically is the exact same shape as the factory one, but instead of paper its a blue foam that you oil. The hardest thing about installing was removing the stock airfilter (that bad boy was in there good).. total time: 5 minutes to install. Performance or noise difference: Donno, haven't driven it yet. (Honestly, could I notice 1-3hp gain, if there was one? Nah)
But, if your one of those "K&N" sorta people, definately check this filter out.

The link for the voodoo knob:

p.s. I recommend the $24 dollar aluminum one-- cheap way to try and see if you like it, before blowing $125 for a titanium one.

The Voodoo Ti shift ball is countersunk. The shift ball screws down over the shift lever. It feels to be as much as 1.5" shorter than the stand up factory shift obloid - maybe more. Throws are short!

I have a shift knob that lowers the top of the knob by over an inch. The shifter stalk rides way up high in the know, about 1/4" from the top. You won't believe the improvement in shift feel and precision. There is not much of a difference in pressure needed either.

I tried cdelena's at the TWS weekend - its definately different! I thought it was going to look big and bulky, but it is actually quite small. He stated if you are used to shifting by gripping the shifter (palm to the inside), then stick with the stock shifter, but if you are used to shifting by palm gripping (palm down - those are the best descriptions I can think of at the moment), then you'd really love voodoo knob is just for you. It does make a difference in the throw. Much shorter.

I've been talking to team voodoo lately - trying to see if there can be a GB arranged with teamvoodoo for the Ti knobs. I don't believe there would be much benefit in a GB on the Al knobs since they do not cost much when buying direct.

Please email or PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

I'd say the JR filter would be a better choice. It's cheaper (see mingster's GB) and has a larger filtering area -- thus it will flow with less resistance and won't need to be cleaned as often.

I have both the Voodoo knob and the JR filter. I would go to Voodoo Racing the for the knob. My experiences with Voodoo Bob have been much better than Charlie's experiences with the Crazy Red Italian.
I finally got to run my car for the first time last night with the JR installed. Really did seem to breathe a bit better. That's a Mingster deal, and working with him is also a good experience.
