Default Need a tuner in DFW
I'm pretty sure I spun a rod bearing today in my truck. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet as I've been trying to get my jeep running so I can drive it in the meantime. It was knocking bad when I killed it. It was a radix supercharged LQ9.

Anyways, I'm probably going to be building a cammed and supercharged 6.0 or a cam and supercharged, or turbo or nitrous 408 next week. Problem is I don't know a thing about tuning. I don't really have time to
learn it before I need my truck. What is standard practice, do most people tow there car to the shop to get it tuned?
