The Yank TT3000 is the most popular choice here. I heard ASM headers fit kinda poorly, I'd get TOGs if it were my truck. Best build quality I've seen. Thorley's are great too apparently and lesser priced.

A servo is an apply piston for the 1-2 and 3-4 shifts. There are two in the 4L60E, intermediate and overdrive...each for the previously mentioned shifts.

The billet intermediate holds 35% greater than the 'Vette and the 'Vette is about 5-10% over stock. So you're talking 40-50% greater capacity. The billet OD is 50% greater than the OE OD servo...there is no 'Vette OD servo.

A stall w/ traction should kill .3-.5 easily. Cam is good for about 18-25rwhp dependant on duration...but that's a solid .2 I'd say. LTs add 13-20rwhp I'd estimate so there could be another .2

I usually factor ~10rwhp = .10 less in 1/4 mi times. You could get about a second off your truck with those mods.

Since you have a '99, have you checked to see if you are suffering False Knock?

20" wheels will slow ya down quite a bit, I'd consider 3.90:1 or 4.10:1 gears to make up for that.

CSN?

CSN is Cold Start Knock. when you crank it up in cold weather the pistons slap for about 10-15 seconds. I might not even get the 20's I was just lookin at em..they do look mint tho. if i did get em id get 4.10's and a eton locker.
