@L8T BURB, did you upgrade the axle gear, or did you keep 3.08?
Your metro/urban city MpG likely would have been improved by 3.42.
I kept the stock gearing in place. Getting a 10 speed behind that engine would have been amazing too. I am curious to hear more about the driving experience of OP.

Getting a 10L90 behind an L8T, even with 3.08, would've been eye opening, mouth watering, and at times sphincter puckering - but always tragically cool.

@chevman88 What grade of fuel are you running in the L8T? It is designed to run 87, and that is what I ran in mine, but I am curious what your stance is on the matter.

If my 6L90 decides to give up… I’ve been messaging with PowertrainSwap about the 10L90 being able to be used. “In theory” it should all work. I am highly curious about OPs driving experience too!
