Input needed! SEMA Builders/Tuners or Southwest builders/tuners!

I will try to keep this short I have about 1000 ideas going thru my head.....
So I just purchased this twin turbo 64 chevelle that many of you have seen.

Awesome car! What I've always wanted. (would love to have built it, but 3 kids under 7 yrs. old makes it impossible right now)

However, I overlooked one thing. I live in New Mexico at 5500 ft. This car has accel gen 6 DFI(now outdated) . Guess what, I can't find anyone to tune it. So I've spent 4 days researching and bugging people. There are seriously some amazing people on this site... (ie. JodyB. Nelson Racing, etc. etc.) They have given me some great options which I will probably end up utilizing! However, they are all 14 hrs. away from me, so I want to make 1 last crazy effort to come up with another solution...

I have some crazy ideas....Is there anyone going to Sema that would want to do an overhaul of my FI system? It would be great advertising in the show to do it live Or I could upgrade my whole FI system, etc. etc.

Knowing thats a crazy idea, how about just someone in southwest that is reputable that can handle this. I'll accept any of your brainstorming. I'm not looking to do a $20k engine overhaul, but am willing to spend some money. My whole goal is to get it tuned correctly and have a more updated system that can be manipulated much easier.......

Job Spetter, @ Turbo People can do it over the internet. He does our dual
88mm sbc from the drag strip over a wireless connection. We ran a 7.54 last weekend in Fontana on our 4th pass with our new combo. He is possibly the best in the country. He tuned the Mustang in PHR this month also.

Plus Jobe likes the Accel software, that is what we use in the race car also

jobe did jimhamptons 18º 400 sb, which has the accel, car is damn near perfect.

remember guys, he has the Gen VI system, much older than the more modern Gen VII. Hard to find people that still tune them. I could get him going if we could find the software to tune with.

I would try Camaros.net or Chevelles.com. Much bigger database of members. I can't believe Accel can't help you.

I also know and have worked with Job Spetter. I believe he can tune Gen VI he may try to talk you into getting the Gen VII.
He is for hire it will cost you but he will fly to your area and as long as you have a dyno lined up he'll tune it. He is out of New York/New Jersey area and he used to drive to the dyno I worked at and tune like 3-4 cars.

Thanks JB. You have been such a big help you don't even understand! Just don't even think I've ditched you and/or Dan. I just want to check out all avenues before I proceed! You know if I lived within 8 hours, this wouldn't even be a discussion We'll be in touch

not even worried about that. Cheapest thing for you is to get your current system tuned, so hopefully find someone who can tune the Gen VI. If you do find the software let me know, and I'll help all I can to get the beast running right. I just don't have the tuning software to make any changes.
