Blackdog Racing-North Suburbs (and forum tuner here can't go wrong with these guys).

Speed, Inc-Schaumburg, IL (forum tuner here ask for Tom Izzo)

FLP-Naperville/Aurora

Straightline Performance-New Lenox

Modern Muscle-Oswego, IL (forum tuner here)

AMS-St Charles, IL (forum tuner here ask for Larry)

Kevin at Libertyviile Chevy, they have there own performance division there.

Bill Kay Chevy in Lisle-they have there own performance division there

Soundperformance-Bensenville, IL

Mike Norris, Norris Motorsports, Indianapolils, Indy. (forum tuner here)


MANY, many rock solid choices, call them up and see which one gives you the best customer service, etc., and who you have the best feel for.

There is not one I recommend over the other, they all have very good reputations, some more pricey than others, and I would not have listed them if I did not think they were more than competent to help you out.

I did not list them in order of who I felt was the best either.

Best of luck to you.
