1.yes, anything helping the tranny firmness of a 4l60e is a plus
2.yes, always fun to bark second in front of people
3.I would go ahead and get a shift kit, but the servos help in their own
4. Right
5. Hope I helped

you aren't gonna bark second with just the servo. it will firm up the shifts quite nice. you will be happy with it. plus it is relatively cheap. do the shift kit when you can, in the mean time, enjoy a servo.

If you have a reg cab, it's a good chance you will bark second. I used to bark second pretty consistantly with just my shift points firmed up with the Superchips, so a servo might put you there.

I would agree with slowprocess, with the shift points up and firmness higher I consistantly barked 2nd with the vette servo in my RCSB 5.3. I is a very cheap and good thing to do. I was having the 1-2 shift slip so I got the vette servo in. Ever since I have had no slipping bands.

yea but he don't have tuning yet. so stock computer i dont' think he is gonna chirp it yet.

the servo vs tow haul. well, hard for me to compare. i guess you could say the servo makes it feel like tow haul is on, but better.
