Default 4l60e servo question

i have a 1997 trans am with a shift kit and a 3600 fuddle stall. i was wondering if i could put a heavier servo kit in the trans to make it shift a little fiirmer and hold a little more power. thanks for the help

You already have the corvette servo the largest from GM however you could upgrade to and aftermarket billet though I dont really suggest this with the stock band as there is a risk that the band will break under the load.
I would suggest if you feel the need either a shift kit or possibly turing the shifts up a little in tuning (shift kit preferred) . However bear in mind the shift firmness did not change with the converter.The feel is just hidden due to the normal slip associated with a high stall converter. Its like a cushion in the drivetrain.

If you have a factory 2-4 band i would not install a billet 2nd gear servo. You will rip the anchors right off the band.

Sonnax 4th gear servo yes but are you shifting hard into 4th?

the shift into 4th is firm but its not hard by any means. they stall makes everything feel pretty soft so i wanted to make it a little firmer. i know i have the corvette servo already, but i thought maybe jet made a kit for my trans. i put a jet servo in my 92 700r4 car and was very pleased.
