Any Illinois tuners?
Are there any Illinois tuners that can give my Vette a kick in the gas? I'd even be willing to travel outside Illinois for a short distance. If there is please email me with cost.

I have a detonation problem and I want to find out if it's the chip. Also I just want to see if there's any more horses in it that can be worked out. It has very few serious mods, a very mild Comp Cam and the usual other simple mods.

In your neck of the woods
I met the guy who owns this place at Vette2Vette at Bloomington Gold last month and for the life of me at the moment I can't remember his name. He knows Gordon Killebrew pretty well though and sure sounds like he knopws what he is talking about. I cannot personally speak for his wrenching capabilities, but I am still considering taking the drive to Streator to have him look at my ailing '85 to him to see what he can do. Maybe give them a call and see.

As far as plugging vette2vette, I have never had such good customer service and knowledgeable advice from any automotive related business in my life. If you need any part definitely call them. I know this was about tuning, so please forgive my "off-topic".
