Camaro skip shift anyone? Most annoying idea ever implemented lol and i wish they would drop the 5.3 and bring in the 5.5 already new body style should bring new motor, not saying i don't like the 5.3 but the 5.5 would be a great new motor for the new trucks

I like the 5.3 the 2014 is up to 355 horse power!! alot more than a old 5.7 ever thought about. infact the 2014 4.3 v6 is a lsx engine for the first time. is 285 horsepower. should be a neat little v6.

Changing the shift points could be very beneficial especially to your driving style and where you live at.

Lower RPM's do not automatically mean better fuel mileage, I have a 6 speed Allison in my '06 Duramax, I get better mileage in 5th gear at 65mph than I do in 6th.

The Duramax/Allison Combo seems to like around 1800 RPM...

Just in case anyone needs one......I just removed my 6L80 out of my 2010 Camaro. In great condition, only 12,250 miles...no drag strip passes... only selling because I am swapping to a 6 speed manual transmission.

$1200 shipped to you in the 48 states, i can include a Pro Torque 2800 Stall with only 3800 miles for another $600
