chicago performance
I thought I saw a thread stating there was a Powerhouse Performance shop in the Chicago area. Could someone tell me where this is or the location of some other good shops?
I am wanting to have an STS installed and tuning done.
thanks

And its nice that we have several top notch tuners in the Chicago Area to choose from when working on our cars. I am one of Powerhouses very first customers along with JEFF (BLACKSHEEP) and JOHN and CHRIS will take great care of your C5 and their customer service is awesome. Also, I use FLP as a tuner and DAN BILLS of FLP is a TOP NOTCH LSX tuner for sure. Its great you have three great tuners all mentioned here by their differenct customers abve, in the south burbs (Powerhouse Performance), far west burbs (FLP) and North (Kevin at HP Performance)!!

I'll put my plug in too for FLP and Dan.
He just finished up with my car, and his results far exceeded my best expectations. Not to mention all the work was basically trying to fix/remedy what others had attempted before and could not get done. He is fantastic. He did many upgrades and fixes, and his tuning is the best. I would agree with blwnc5, I doubt you could find anyone much better than Dan. And to top it off, he is such a nice guy too.
I've went to other tuners before; Denver, Minneapolis, Houston, etc. I wish to heck I had known about FLP years ago. I can tell you now, I will go to no one else again.
It is great that you have such a good group to choose from in the Chicago area.

Dan was telling me also that he gets his fair share of the difficult cars and ones others have worked on before. He always seems to get it made right though. I suppose that's a testament to his abilities, as I can imagine it is much harder to work on a car that's been worked on previously than one he built from the ground up.
I wish I had known about Dan and FLP years ago.
