What to expect?

I know it's mostly transmission but figured would ask here since you'd know best being v6er's. I bought a corvette servo, b&m shift kit and asp crank pully. Going to put this on in the next few days and was wondering what to expect performance wise? Drastic increases or minimal that I won't notice?

You'll notice it. You'll have firmer shifts and be able to adjust your TV cable for better shift points. Don't know about underdrive pulley, I hear it's noticeable.

What do you mean adjust it? I read the instructions for the shift kit and it says to...pull it all the way or loosen it all the way and the car will re adjust itself...

It is adjustable for shift firmness and delay. You can let it shift 200 rpm later but harder, or 200 rpm sooner but softer... somthing like that
