Looking to buy an frs. Tuner in OK?

Hi yall. I'm looking at buying an frs or brz. Probably an frs because they tend to be a little cheaper where I am. I plan to turbo or supercharge the frs I buy. But I am in Oklahoma. Near okc. Is there a tuner anywhere around me that could tune a boosted frs for me? If not in Oklahoma where is the closest?
I appreciate it

I'm feeling nice today.

Use remote tune with a reputable tuner like 99% of us do.

I also hope you have an extra 10K+ sitting around to boost the car properly.
(If you need to ask why, you shouldn't be boosting the car)

I was actually reading that remote tunes aren't so good. But that's good to hear. I've done them before. I was just curious if there was a tuner actually local to me that anyone knew about. The guys I know don't deal in subarus.
I don't quite see it taking 10k. But we shall see.
Thank you

An experienced remote tuner is always better than an inexperienced local tuner. The tune that gives the most power is not better if you will throw a rod down the road. A good tuner knows how to optimize performance and reliability which can be done remotely.

I would just call CSG.
