I'm thinking of doing the whole trans-go/servo route. I was just wondering if the 4th gear servo is really needed? I'm never going to be going into 4th at WOT, because I would be like at 150mph or so.

I'm thinking of doing the vette servo, but are the billets noticeably better than the vette? If so, which billets are best (TCI, Jet, Hughes)? Thanks.

 

The billet servos you hear about are made by fairbanks. If you'll ever tow in fourth, it would be a nice upgrade for the overdrive servo. It also comes with a shiny billet cover! The 2-3 is definately a stronger shift with the billet servos than the vette servo. Also, you are going to need A LOT of horsepower to push that pig to 150 through the air. Just for comparison, my buddy's Lightning (380 hp, 450 ft-lbs) literally just wouldn't go any more past 142 mph. It wasn't maxed out in rpms, it just couldn't overcome the air resistance after that. That would be hauling booty if you did though!!

Oh, and you'll probably hear pros and cons about the billets over the vette and vice versa, but I personally like the billets better.

 

I don't think I could ever go 150 either....but I was just speaking mathematicaly and theoretically.

Thanks yeary....anyone else?
