For shifters I'm partial to Hurt quarter stick pistol grip. It has a thumb button on top for linelock or t brake. I have one on a manual valve body t brake C6 and love it. Never had a problem. Bolt it on, adjust, forget. Go race.

As for ignition I too run a Mallory Hyfire. Mine's a 6 and I run a Unilite dizzy locked out. Small cap adds clearance up front too. Works well. Another part that just plain works and I don't have to mess with it. To do push button start you just need to rewire from your stocker keyed ignition switch to a quality momentary button. There are plenty out there to choose from designed just for push-to-start. If you're wanting to rewire more I'd suggest Painless Wiring's boxes. They have rocker switches for ignition power, start (momentary of course), accessories, fuel pump, water pump/fan, etc.

I don't see why not. Positive stops. You cannot miss a shift. Impossible.

Turbo Action air shifter for me. It's the only shifter that will make both shifts for my C6. Just got it in, and waiting to try it. The T/A came highly recommended by several people.
