The Vette servo is a trans part that can be changed without removing the trans or pan that will firm up your shifts and most likely improve the life of your transmission.

If you look through the GM performance thread there is a ton of info on both the Corvette and billet servos. It's cheap and easy to install so it's a very common mod. You can get the from Ebay or many other places for less than $20 for the Corvette servo. I've spent hours on here reading in the last couple of weeks, trust me, you can learn a lot.

so can you use a vette servo with a shift kit? or does it have to be one or the other? and also, if u can use both together, is it better then just using one?

you can use a vette servo with the shift kit... that is actually a piece that most shift kits are lacking. It is also recommened to replace the current servo with either a vette one or a billet one for better strength and longivity of the tranny's life.
