aftermarket servos

guys
Does anyone have any experience installing Aftermarket servos in a C6 tranny? I am not talking about a shift kit; I am talking about swapping out the servo assembly to increase band apply force. Is it worth the investment?? Here is a description of what I am talking about (this was taken off of summit racing online):
JET Billet Powr-ServosHarder, stronger shifts.

For heavy towing or high performance applications, use JET's Billet Powr-Servos. They install easily on the outside of the transmission housing and features a large apply area, which holds the band with greater force. They improve the 1-2 shift and prevent band slippage under hard throttle or towing conditions.

Do you want a "comfort" ride or a "race" ride. You shifts will be almost instant. NO shift lag. This will chirp the tires and hurt your back if your motor has enough power.

Ha ha ha. stock 360 = not enough power. Try 350+ hp. I think you have 127hp or so.

Also change the servo arm inside to get a higher mechanical advantage. If you can find the relineable forged intermediate band it's alot stronger but hard to find.
