you could upgrade to an ls1 cam for that much if you spend your money wisely
Corvette servo $20 shipped.
K&n air filter. Buy a summit racing filter and it is the same filter made by K n
+1 on the servo. Best upgrade for the money
How hard is it to install a servo, and what transmission does my truck have?? I have an '02 Silverado 1500 Z71 w/ a 5.3 V8.

It took me and a buddy in Auto Tech 20 mins. to install.
servo and filter!
you can find a good deal on a lsx cam used on ebay or forums for fairly cheap
Corvette Servo and you still got money left!!!
OK, so I decided I'm gonna buy a vette servo. I was reading a how-to on an S-10 truck website showing how to install a vette servo, the how-to said that when you take the servo cover off you're more than likely gonna tear the o-ring and that buying an extra before the installation is a good idea. I was wondering if any of you guys had this happen and if you did, what size is the o-ring???
It did not happen to me but in case it does the kit should come w/all new O-rings anyways. Oh and I can't find a # to OPT, so just go to OPT.com and send them an e-mail.
Just bought a new corvette servo from oregon performance on ebay for 17.99, and it does come w/ all the o-rings and seals. Thanks for your help guys!

Use an 18" pry bar. Push against the underside of the floorboard against the center of the servo. It comes out quite easily. Reinstall is a bit trickier--but you'll get it.
FYI billet servos will be a little different than the covette servo, corvette servo goes back like a stock one, the billet one is different, its super easy though surely u cant figure it out :thumb:Quote:

so i just got the servo today, ill be intallin it on monday, and ill probably be doin a tb bypass as well
let us know how the servo install goes
will do. ill try to take some pics during the install too.
appreciate it man
well, finally got the servo installed. was a pain at times. hardest part was getting the spring between the servo assembly and the transmission in place and getting the pin back in the hole. couldn't get pics, sorry but did this w/out dropping my tranny and it cramped and awkward up where the servo was. overall it was a simple install. i am very satisfied w/ the results. shifting into third is awesome. oh, i also did a tb bypass. became messy, and i we ended up just cuttin through the hoses, but the bypass was successful. although i cant really notice any difference.
:burnrub:
I find it hard to believe that you did not notice a difference in your truck after the TB bypass. Wait was your truck cold when you did the TB bypass? If so that explains it. You really notice it when the truck is warm and then you take the heat away and drive it with the TB bypassed.
The servo is a pain especailly if you have never done one before, but it is a learning experience.
^^^^ are you serious?
Serious about????
The TB bypass is probably what he is refering too.
Well I do not notice my TB bypass now. Infact after 2 days I really didn't notice it, because now all that is being drawn into the motor is cool air. But when I did do it the motor was warm after letting it cool down, then driving it afterwards was like night and day.
