I'm in the 5 range for capability, but am losing interest lately in even wanting to do anything.
I was fortunate enough to grow up around an automotive machine shop and have done everything.
I've made or modified countless parts.
I've done body work and painted years ago, but it's been a long long time.

I haven't done any late model tuning.
My tuning experience is dialing in a Holley carb.
I do plan to get HPtuners though. I would really use it more as a scan/tweeking tool.

I am here as well, but I am sure if I really-really needed to I can tear up a whole engine and put it back together.
