I literally can't drive it out of my driveway at this point, which is beyond frustrating. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm dead in the water until I can find some assistance because this is beyond me.

How experienced are you with tuning? That is something that I have always wanted to know more about but I haven't been willing to dedicate the time to it. That's really the most intimidating thing to me about starting from scratch.

Not very. Most of my experience is with piggy-back units in piston-engined cars. Just altering fuel and timing to improve power at partial and wide-open throttle. I don't have any experience starting from scratch. I've relied heavily on Chris at Ludwig Motorsports and Brian (TitaniumTT) just to get where I am now.
