I agree about the vette servo, it helps alot for this shift.
You could do the TB bypass as well if you havent already.

vette servo seems cheap and easy enough. i'll have to do it while i have my exhaust off. now just more reading on how to do it.

tb bypass? i'll have to read about that one too.

It's just disconnecting the coolant line that goes into the throttle body and reconnecting it to the place the right side one goes. The left hose was long enough to fit without having to use a splice or get a longer hose for me. Basically it's to warm up the air that goes in in the winter time, but that warm air makes less hp than colder etc. Free and easy to put back to stock, plus it makes sense to do.

This smaller hose that you see clipped to the upper radiator hose, trace it to the trottle body and out the other side to a connection near the top of the engine block. If you look close you can see one of the dust caps I put on mine to the right of it under the trottle linkage.

It depends. I've read both ways. If you keep it outside probably, but garage kept might be ok without it hooked up. It's like a 2 min job, so just keep the parts or get a 5/16 barb splice and some hose clamps.
