You are going to need some say to get the tune flashed. Either send the ecu off to get bench flashed or buy hpfuners/efi live.

We can do it BUT on E85 + meth its going to be pretty hard to get your fuel right on just a base tune. There are a ton of variables from vehicle to vehicle, fuel pressure, injectors, etc that make nailing the base tune fueling down hard on mail order turbo stuff. It wouldnt be a big deal if you had hpt or efi so you could make changes if needed.

Yeah the meth activates at #10. I honestly dont plan on getting into boost at all, I just want to get it running and driving under normal conditions before I take it in and have it tuned. What do you guys charge for the MO tune? I can PmM/ You can PM me if you need further details.
