^At least GM will get a 10 speed to go with the lowest powered gasser, next year.
But bottom line all the gassers now with 8-10speed gear boxes pull real well compared to anything in the past.
10 speeds is the practical limit though. Actually 9 is. My 10 speed half ton is only about 150rpms between 9 and 10. Virtually imperceptible and it never really downshifts to 9th. If you need a downshift from 9th it hits 8th right away.
