Superior Intermediate Super Servo - greater band holding power, much better 2-3 shifts, excellent 1-2 shifts, 35% more apply than 'Vette servo
Superior Overdrive Super Servo - greater holding power in 4th, much better 3-4 shifts, 10% more apply than OE part, comes with billet cover too

I dunno about that servo. I think a corvette servo will be just fine. Yes that one will give more apply area but don't you think that it will put abnormal wear on the band causing it to become thin and break quicker?
Unless he is gonna be putting some serious hp/tq I don't think he will need that much servo. Plus that one is more expensive.

In a performance application .... go with the billets. The main thing you want to avoid is bone jarring shifts. You want them quick and firm, but not excessivly abusive. The billet's will hold better, not just have a firmer shift, but they actually apply more pressure on the band which makes it hold better.
The band is applied in 2nd and 4th gear. 2nd is the hardest pulling gear, so all the apply pressure you can get would be well worth it. It does come to a point of it being to much ... but you would have the bone jarring abusive shifts if it were at that point.
