Question Need some opinions on trans parts!

Well Im trying to get on the ball and get the last few things ready before I put my turbo kit on. Im going to keep it around 8psi for the forseeable future and was told that I should be just fine with a shift kit, servos, and 40k trans cooler (keeping stock converter). This is going to stay my DD and someday be tow rig for the S10. I will only hit the track a couple times after getting it done just to see the gains over what I have now, otherwise it will be 100% street driven.

So the question, what shift kit and servos will be best to get for my goals? Seems most everyone goes TransGo HD2 and vette servos. But are there better options like the billet servos? Im not a trans guru so any help will be great!

Personaly I would say stick with those. I have both and love how they perform. I neither am a trans expert but I wouldn't question putting either in another truck if I was building another. Ive read that the billet servo is a bit too harsh for most daily use thats why I went with the vette servo. I installed both and long as you have general knowledge of how to use a wrench you can do it yourself in your driveway. I would also look into upgrading the clutch band. Which that would mean pulling the trans to install so unless I was going to rebuild it I'd save that for later.
