Hey guys. I've already made a thread, but not an introduction yet. Figured I would stop in and tell you about myself.

My daily driver is a 1995 GMC Yukon. It's been in the family since 97 or so, but I started driving it back in 07.

This is how it looked at that time. Completely stock except a custom chip and Flowmaster exhaust.

Then I got it painted after an accident.

Found a fiberglass cowl induction hood on craigslist.

New wheels and tires.

Then things got crazy. I bought this off CL in Arizona. (Excuse the dirty engine bay, 17 years will do that)

Finally, here's how it looks now with some front end changes.

Right now, I'm almost done with a 4L60e to 4L80e swap. I've been having some trouble with the tune (I paid a professional tuner to burn the tune for the swap, so far it hasn't worked out), so I might end up just doing my own.

Also, I have an old Edelbrock MPFI setup waiting to go on, so learning to tune would be helpful for that too. Looks like a helpful site y'all have here. Looking forward to learning a lot. I don't know much about computer tuning, I'm still very new to it all, but we all have to start somewhere, right?
