TX Dallas area RX8 help with flooded engine ?

I'm in Garland, TX and yes, I've read all the various ways to get the car started after flooding (including the removing the fuse for the fuel pump method). I'm in the middle of a move and haven't had much chance to retry it all since it's warmed up here. I really could use someone who is local and has some experience getting the car cranked up. I do have one of the those starting units (the ones that have their own battery that you use for jump starts) and also you can jump start off my other vehicle as well. I'm willing to pay to get help on this, I would just like the car running so I don't have to tow it to the shop and get charged the amount that they love to charge when it gets flooded (usually about $700). If there's anyone that could provide some assistance, you can reach me at coilbacklew@gmail.com - thanks !

BTW, I have made a couple of attempts, but haven't had a ton of luck. I almost got it to turn over at one point, but then had to leave for work and couldn't sit with it to keep trying.
