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.

Re: 6l80/90

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

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

Re: 6l80/90

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
