Just a thought since you don't want to drive it...

You can call them and see if they offer tuning.

I would recommend Futral Motorsports. Trailer it or tow it if you have to.

You may also want to consider contacting Southern Speed. They are a sponsor here. It's located in Baton Rouge as well. It's a couple miles north of Thunder Racing on Airline Hwy.

You won't be sorry. You chose the right place to get your car tuned.

I heard about a guy "Blanchard". Has anyone ever used him? I called Futral a week ago and still no return call. Maybe he is real busy. I heard he is very good.

You will def need a trailer after taking it there. He couldnt tune mine. Not to mention he never made pull below 4k. He took my money after swapping out the maf saying it was bad. The car came in with a new maf and no maf code. It came out with a MAF code and it was burnt looking. I towed it straight to RWTD in mobile and he took care of it the next day.
