Default Best Tuners in the Midwest: Who are they?

Simple question: Who are the top tuners in the Midwest?
Who tuned your car and what were the results?
Any First Hand horror stories?

Trying to keep my options open for future modification.

I do my own tuning, but I will not do business with speed inc, their customer service is not that great. Also they don't believe in meth so that tells me all I need to know about their tuning abilities.

I think there is a good tuner in Indianapolis but I forget his name....ask the clown

Agreed, and you find this to be a very common concensous.

Those are the only two within your driving distance I would trust if your going to pay your hard earned money for a tune.

Everyone knows you don't like Speed Inc, which is fine. They did my last tune but I'm not a fan boy, I just got a great deal I couldn't pass up. I will go with those who have proven good results. With that said, what sort of results has there been from LMT and Straightline?

Objectively, I have not heard good things about LMT. Again, I have no experience with them so I personally have no complaints about them.

My local Tuner Proxses tuning has always done excellent work. Located in centerville Ohio.

He specializes in LSX and has a 1,024rwhp ttlsx gto . He is also very good at fabrication etc.

He has tuned about 20 Cars I know of all with great results.

I'm not sure exactly where you are located. PM me for more info.

Damn...maybe I'll give them a buzz after I finish installing my meth kit.

some people dont care to take the time or effort to tune. For me even though I have hp tuners Id rather pay 400 bucks and have the car back and perfect in a few days.

Please keep all the hearsay bull$hit out of this thread. I don't personally give a fawk about some random guy you heard about blowing up his car as shop x. Just facts!
If you personally had a great/bad tune at a shop, tell us about it. Have a friend with an experience? Have them sign up and post up. Otherwise, how about we keep a sense of maturity and respect...after all this isn't fawking high school.

Funny though, I know someone who just bought a ZR1 you guys tuned and it ran for complete dog ****. Matter of fact, I have the tune file from it on my computer. Ill send it to anyone that wants to give it a look and form their own opinion from that alone. Keep up the good work!



I need royalties for the use of that picture! I looked hard to find that!

Might not be the worst thing...

We could all just pack up the f/I section and move over to yellowbullet where you can call a spade a spade and no one edits your posts.

I'd honestly never come on this forum if i didn't have so many friends here. The vendor protection and language/content censorship is a bit out of control.

I saved my tune file as well. Truly i would like to know what they charged me all that money for; cause it sure wasn't for a f#$king tune.
