I wanted to know if there is anything I can do at home to tune my car. Let's say I were to drive it to the shop, is there any way I can tune it for driving there. I don't have anysoftware or tools really to tune it. Or should I TOW the car to the shop? To avoid problems from running to0 lean or some other problem. What do you think?

That depends on the mods that have been done. If it something simple like a BOV swap or addition, there shouldn't be any problem. If you have gone to a bigger turbo or other major change, I would just get it towed. the cost of a tow is much MUCH cheaper than a new motor or a rebuild. Just make sure if you have an AWD that you get it towed on a rollback truck.

Year make model and what modifications done thus far might help me with this one. Engine controls fuel injector size all important. When I hit the dyno I make sure to have good plugs and wires. I also know my ECM can be electronically modified some can out. Car call out like this "My car is a 2006 pontiac GTO 6 speed with SLP exhaust K&N cold air intake and Predatior Diablo by SLP engine reprogramer". That way I will have a better answer. When in doubt tow it to the shop.
