Tampa Tuning- kinda old news. Im stuck searching new GM information weekly to stay ahead of the tuning curve, and you need friends in the right places lol
Your links mention a V8 8-speed "by the end of 2016" and the 2012 article talking about the MY14 Silverado having an 8 speed.... that didn't happen. I checked the Chevy website and all the NEW 2014 Silverados still have 6 speeds behind thier V6 and V8's.
I found this latest news more informative and perhaps a bit more accurate.
