Tune In Illinois?
Tune In Illinois? Im installing a cam and having my heads ported and polished. Im soon to be looking for a good place to tune my car. Does anyone know of a place in Illinois near 62401 effingham area to have an ls1 with a cam tuned?

Make the trip north just a couple of hours and call FLP (Naperville), Speed, Inc (schaumburg), or Powerhouse Performance (orland Park, IL) for a great N/A cam only tune from any one of these tuners!

Otherwise mail order tunes are pretty poplular and effective. I've seen the afrs on a mail order tune come back dead on. So not the worst way of going, and cheaper.
But you get no sweet dyno graph at the end of day

Road/Track tuning is the absolute best way to dial the car in. You're dealing with real world factors at that point, being rolling and wind resistance, actual cooling of the radiator (and intercoolers if you have them), and the car moving it's own weight. A dyno is great for getting it close and for spitting out the numbers that everyone loves to talk about.

The guys at FLP are a bunch of ********!! Seriously, My friend and I just finished a cam swap in his GTO and we brought it to FLP. These guys jerked us around for two days before finishing the tune. They seem to have done a good job tho. I would never go there again, they didn't seem honest and were complete dicks to us.

All my experiences were very good at FLP, and I drove 350 miles to get there. They do it right!
