Thanks Robert, hopefully you'll have a chance to experience the 90% humidity that I have been enjoying for the past couple of years.

Does this mean your moving your home to Georgia?
Yes! I will be living in Marietta, GA, about 4 miles from the shop.

Greenville is about 2 hours...I think..from Atlanta. Kick it up to 120mph and you'll be there in close to an hour.

Congrats Sharif! It is going to be really nice to have a GREAT tuner located fairly close to me. I look forward to bringing my car to you in the near future. I was born and raised in Marietta/Kennesaw so I am familiar with the area. Where exactly is the shop going to be located at? Not sure if you have mentioned it somewhere, but what type of dyno are you going to have?
