corvette servo questions

first off, ive seen so many posts with the "corvette servo" involved. yet no one defines this, so i was just gonna post one to see what exactly a corvette servo does? where is it located? what kinda performance does it give you? how do u know if it would be a helpful mod?

thanks

it is a piston in a 700R4 from a corvette as opposed to a camaro. it consists of the pison itself, the housing, and o ring. dont forget the cover seal.
basically is applies the shift quicker...just like a shift kit does. if you have a 700r4...i recommend it.

check this site out. http://sethirdgen.org/servo.htm
