trannycooler size depends on how col you want it. Just remember to plumb it it the radiator the right way.

if you do the full out for the trans go, you won't need no stinking kickdown kit

I bought a transgo kit for mine, and then found out that I cain do the same thing thru programing/tuning. All i need to do now is wire up an aldl, and but the transgo in the blazer

trans go shift kit comes with a vette servo which fits right in so I don't think you would even need the jet servo which I've never heard of.
