Yes the core is 200...We actually only use about 50 dollars of the older one ( the heat treated internals ) and you re use your gold rear bracket and sound pad from your older unit.
So the core is a MAJOR loss for us but i hate being on the consumer ends when you are loyal to a company and then something better comes along and you feel left out to dry. lol...But i will not be doing this too long... probably thru january as its killin me.

Yeah I'm gonna order the new one this week too. Now to find time to do the swap. I hated that boot install on the first revision, so much that George actually sent me out another one for free (since I tore my first one) and I haven't even installed it yet. I hated it that much. I really want to try out the new version and put my stock boot back on.

We also are inspecting 100 percent of all shafts and it they are even a hint of being suspect they go in the trash,. Thats why this core exchange is very costly for us.

no...we are actually using only the heat treated parts and sending them only with core upgrades. If you buy a race spec without a core you will get brand new parts.

I just installed the Blowfish bracket with the new Gen 2 end on it and the difference is incredible. No grinding/notchiness at all, just good solid shifting. A little bit of NVH but not bad at all. You cannot use the blowfish bracket with the MGW race spec shifter. The MGW race shifter is $470 and the blowfish is currently on sale at CJpony parts for $249. well worth the investment and half the cost and will do the same thing as the MGW.

If only someone out there could do an objective comparison of these products. For the most part the users on both sides are very happy with what they have. For me, I'd like minimal to no additional NVH. Besides price the biggest reason to go with the Blowfish bracket is the drive shaft loop. I plan to swap out to a 1 piece drive shaft at some point so the added safety would be nice.

MGW Race Spec and Blowfish bracket

I plan to swap out to a 1 piece drive shaft at some point so the added safety would be nice.
Assuming both do a great job with shifting and NVH, here's what's left:
Blowfish is cheaper and easier to install because it uses the stock shifter or any other shifter you might prefer. It also adds the driveshaft loop.
Conversely, MGW is more expensive because it replaces the shifter. But according to feedback the build quality is second to none.
I'm leaning toward leaving it alone (I've made friends with the stock shifter somewhat) or going with the MGW. I'll probably leave it alone until I have money to burn then MGW it.

Does the new MGW have any height adjustability?
One thing holding me back is I prefer the shifter a little taller. In fact I have the Barton extender on the stock shifter and it just about the perfect height IMO.
I didn't see anything on the MGW website about it on the new race spec shifter
