Default Best tuner in the midwest?

As the title ask, I was wondering who might be the best tuner in the midwest in your opinion. A friend of mine is wanting to know and I have no clue. Thanks for any help you can give.

BEST as far as what? What does he need done? A full out turbo 7 second LSX car with BS3 engine management, or a bolton 13 second LT1?

You have three good ones in the Chicagoland area. Mike @ Straightline Performance, Jim @ Speed Inc, and Dan @ FLP.

Any standalone tuning(BS3, FAST, AEM, etc) go to Bob Kurgan. For stock computers, Speed Inc. does great work.

My personal opinion is Dan at FLP and I have experience with another large tuner in the area. His tune made my car drive A LOT better and made a few more ponies too.

My suggestion would be to have your friend contact a few of the local shops and talk to their sales people about tuning and see who he feels most comfortable with.

I have heard a lot of good things about Speed Inc. If I have any major work done to my car that is where I plan to take it as well.

Thanks for the kind words, I treat every car I tune as if it were my own, and we consistently build the fastest, highest horsepower LS1/LT1 cars in the Chicago area.

Chad @ GLM hands down. I wouldn't take my car to anyone else. He's tuned some very big setups up in Ft. Wayne, NY and some other places.

can't beat Brent at EPP. Him and Bob are first class guys and that is where my car will be going to get tuned. Worth the drive!

Dan knows his ****, very respected tuner. Look at the caliber of vehicle he is building. Think he can handle tuning YOUR car?

Chad and Pat @ Green Light do great work. I have seen them tune many cars in person and made many happy customers and fast cars
