shift kit or servo?

this week is finals week, that means next week im able to work on my car. i have a garage at home so im gonna do all the routine maitenence and what not. i have been reading alot of posts regarding corvette servos, and shiftkits.

my question is what would be a better mod for my situation. check the sig for mods, i wanted a shift kit but i have seen some negative posts regarding BM shift kits, some mixed results with Transgo shiftkits and various positive results with corvette servos. should i go with a servo or a shiftkit, or both? i have novice mechanical skills so please keep that in mind.

thanks

daniel

I would definatly go with a servo and .500 tv boost valve. You can do these without dropping the VB and the results are better imo.

If you get the "consumer grade" TransGo kit, I believe it comes with the Corvette servo.

I moved your post up again so it could get more responses, I think its a good topic.

And definitely go with the Trans-GO shift kit. I am on my second one. I had the Stage I and just upgraded to the Stage III.

Definitely do not get the B & M one...
