It's going in an 07 Yukon 4x4 (not the xl). It's not really a DD because the company I work for provides me a truck that I drive home. It's used only for running around town and the occasional road trip. It might do some light towing every now and then. I have two other trucks to tow with nothing heavy. The truck has 3:73s and 4l60e which will be getting a corvette servo to start with until it Taks then a full work up. It still has to be streetable. My goals for the build is around 500hp.

Thank you for the input. I'm think I'm going still go with this one if I don't like it it won't be that hard to go to a smaller one since it'll already have all new lifters and springs etc.
