A step up from (and after) the factory shortshift would be something like the Seine (or I presume that Robotek) which would add a springing mechanism to get the shifting lever to reside between 3rd and 4th gears slots.
There are other more expensive (and sophisticated) options that might be worth exploring depending on you budget and need for more precision in your shifting. Serious racers would most likely be installing those.
