outlaw or speed inc!

if your only running headers without cats, I would save the $400 for a tune until you get a cam. most people only tune after a cam or cam/heads install, not after headers!

Dan Bills at Finish Line Performance 630-820-9294. Ive tried another tuner in the area do my first tune and had issues, Dan's retune made more power(while still a safe A/F), resolved my dying in reverse problem, resolved my surging at idle problem, and resolved the converter not unlocking at WOT problem. Stuff the other tuner couldnt do. FLP's tunes are a little more but your paying for his experience and expertise. Thats why he has a waiting list year round.

Mike at Outlaw Motorsports/Straightline. He knows his ****. Some tuners just load tunes from other cars unless you are spending thousands upon thousands of dollars with them. Then, they would take time to actually tune it right.

Since I live on the North Side of Chicago, Schaumburg is always an easier drive for me, and Intmd8 is a long time friend.

For anyone reading this thread please do not think that OOtlaw and Straightline are the same shops. At Straightline we have a dyno that is actually set in the concrete. That's right, in the concrete. It is not a "portable dyno" they use at ootlaw. Mike does tune at both shops. He is an excellent tuner. If I were to get my car done I would choose Straightline, well, because I own it. But I also know the staff at Straightline is very accommodating and will work with you until you are satisfied. Our shop is also twice as large and can handle more volume. Give us a call! But my main point here is we are not associated in any way with ootlaw motorsports.
