Reverse manual valve body questions

I didn't, the trans was done 1 year (11 passes) ago by the previous owner. I'll inquier on the price to change to a forward manual VB

I'm half way between a NHRA and IHRA track and expect to try both ... I need to get a better education on the shifter rules if different.

The Duster has the B&M. Had the Hurst in a Florida Pro/Truck
Not happy with shifters that take two hands to operate.
