Re: any shops that tune in newyork...
 

Everyone I met in upstate NY wishes they were dead because there is nothing to do. Admittedly, Syracuse is a city of some size so that might not be the case for you vs everyone I met in the sticks just north of you, but there is ---- to do in NC and you will not be bored. Unlike great swaths of upstate NY, cracker FL, Indiana, etc.

There is plenty to do in upstate, NY..the real upstate, not west NY. I-87 shared with canada is just about the biggest drug highway on the East coast. Anyway, I don't know how close to Lake Placed you are, but there is an AWD dyno shop there called moon performance.
