Default Good tuning shop near Central IL.
I have reviewed all the shops in the are from the sticky, but I cannot find one nearby. I was tuned at F C Customs with a Predator CMR interface, but I want HPTuners or LS2Edit. Is there any shops within 1.5-2 hours drive? I've used Speed Inc. before too, but they are 3+ hours away from my new area and thats too far for me at the moment. By the way, I am in Decatur, IL.

Thanks folks!

Todd

I think Speed is gonna be closest. That's where I go all the time for tuning.

Located in Springfield, IL. Guys name is Ross. HPTuners is what he uses. He got my 408 car running like a top in no time. He will get my business for *anything* I ever need tuned in the future. Tell him Russ sent you.

Just curious why you are going with HPTuners or LS2Edit instead of Predator? What will they do that Predator wont do? I've had all my tuning done by FC and have had exceptional results and service.

He's probably closer to 3-4 hours from the chicago 'burbs guys. It takes me 3 hours (roughly) to get to FLp and I'm closer than he is.

Tuning only. At least the last I heard from him a couple months ago.
