Considering your location, I'd definitely travel to Louisiana. That's the closest location to you for a good tuner.

Going by the pricing on Futral's website it's $600 for forced induction/big nitrous tuning. Give them a call @ 225-791-9593 to make sure.

Yeah Futral Motorsports is a sponsor on here. You can call them but a easier way to get in touch is through email because they are busy in the shop and not always able to get to the phone
