Neck snappin' acceleration

This doesn't have much to do with the title really, but hey...


This is what I want. I want normal, slow acceleration to shift easy.. (th700r4). However, when I floor it, I want it to shift verrry hard. Kill those drivetrain parts! Yeah! Anyways, will the Corvette servo give me that effect?

Goto the drivetrain board and look for a post on the transgo shift kit, it'll explain what would be needed to give that effect.

Enkil,

A smaller servo can provide faster actuation of the band, but a torque converter with a higher stall rating will give you the torque under load for better acceleration.

Enkil,

My friend decided he wanted the same thing as you're talkin' about!! So when he went to get his 7004R rebuilt he had them put a smaller servo than the corvette servo in it, a B&M shift kit, AND they modified the valve body to the max!! He actually took it back to them 3 times because it wasn't shifting hard enough and the last time he went in they modified the s h i t out of the valve body!! I HATE it!! It practically rips your freakin' head off when it shifts!! He's actually tired of it too after about a year and a half!!
