Upsides/Downsides to installing the Corvette Servo
Hey guys,
Quick question: Is there any at ALL downsides to installing the Corvette Servo in my 04 Tahoe LT?
I know they can be purchased for under $20.
My step-dad who can install anything in cars said he can install one in less than 30 minutes, but doesn't understand why I would install a sports car Servo in a 4X4 SUV.
My reasoning is that it shifts from 1-2 better and I read online it actually makes the transmission not "slip", so it actually is better than stock for the Hoe.
His reasoning for not wanting to do it is: "GM pays allot of money to engineers to design/pick the best parts for their cars, and if the Corvette servo works better than what is in there, then they would of put it in there" and also added, "If you can show me it overall is better for the car I'll help you out and install it"
Soo, this is where you guys can help out haha:
List some positive reasons to install the Vette Servo and Please list any negatives too
Thanks in advance

Can I do it myself?
Can you work a screwdriver and a C-Clamp? If so, then yes. If you can change your oil or brakes, you can do this.
What tools will I need?
A few flathead screwdrivers (small and medium), a prybar, a drip pan, C-clamp, 10mm socket and ratchet, and a few rags.
Positive +:
-Helps firm up the shift points, for firmer shifts
-The 'Vette servo will only firm up the 1-2 shift.
Negative -:
