Is it ok to just install that now, even if I am going to build up the tranny later. Will it help in the mean while is what I am asking? Cause still wondering if I should get a transgo shift kit installed or not!

I would be interested in knowing the same. What about that Super Servo kit on the KDS website??

all the servo does is put more pressure on the line.thus hard shifts. put a kit in and youll magnify the effect.but i think with out the kit your tranny will slip instead of shift hard . may be wrong. i did the kit first then the servo. noticed a big differance in shift firmness with the kit, and even more when i added the servo. but don't use the tow/haul, if you do this it puts an ungodly amount of pressure on the line and somethings gonna break. not saying i did or anything , but i sheared the output shaft in two and cracked the case housing. not a pretty site.

Hey, I run a full TransGo (no washers) and both billet servos. The shifts are very nice, quick, and crisp. This is with STOCK programming still. I can barely bark the 285's out back at WOT manually shifting 1-2 shift. It is plenty firm and works well.

If you are just going to be doing TransGo or servos, do the TransGo. The trans works far better with a smarter valve body

i have the vette servo and it shifts nice, quick and firm. much better than with predator alone. i ponder the question if i even need a shift kit.

i was going to get a shift kit but after i put the super servo in i dont think i need one. all the shifts are fast and firm. TQM sucks though. i get a good 2nd gear scratch too.

I am telling you guys, the TransGo makes a world of difference. I wonder what my truck would be like shift wise with revised Trans parameters and no TqMgt with the servos and shift kit...
