Default Pro tuners around Wisconsin area needed

I have a MS4 cam with plenty of other mods from TSP

Their mail order tune got me going long enough to take it to a dyno shop in West Bend Wisconsin.... ... $600 and several phone calls including one long one with the owner and I will never go back.

So I've been looking ever since. Who are some of the best tuners around the Wisconsin area?

I have done tuning myself before but it takes so much time that I would rather just have a true pro do the job for me.

Default Pro Tuners in WI

I'm in Green Bay, did you ever find a tuner in WI?

I did not, however I did purchase HP Tuners and a wideband and have been tuning the car myself. I have previous experience tuning other cars including a few LT1 Camaros.

I think I have the car running rather well now, far better than it did after West Bend Dyno charged me $600 to "professionally" tune it.

Mine was professionally tuned by Speed Inc in Illinois. It definitely has some drive ability issues also. Dies coasting to a stop, other times high idles until you come to a complete stop, and wont stay running until you get some heat in the engine when outside temps are low. Seems like almost anyone can get the wot tables correct, but a lot of them miss the mark when it comes to the detailed stuff.

I had pretty much the exact same issues after mine was tuned for me. I've managed to fix those issues almost completely and the drivability is FAR better now - only took me 6ish months learning and about 200+ hours tuning to figure it out...

I was going to take my car to that dyno place in West Bend, Do they know their stuff about LS cars and tuning?

I took my car there to be tuned and DO NOT recommend anyone go there after my experience.

They claim to be LS tuning experts, they are not. They fixed a startup issue I had but otherwise the car still had many issues, when I called to setup a retune (they had a 30 day retune policy) they gave me constant "too busy" excuses, eventually I as able to talk to the "owner" and he gave me excuse after excuse and I decided it wasn't worth my time.

After I got my HP Tuners for my car months later I compared the tune to a factory tune and discovered they only touched about 5 tables that included some abnormal tricks to fix my startup issue and never touched the timing tables or MAF tables.

I have been taking all of the road-race cars I set-up to Beyond Redline in Green Bay. They know they're stuff - from there website they look more like an import shop but they are very familiar with LS stuff.
