Default Where to get FI tuning around Midwest

I am in Kansas City, Missouri. I have a buddy who has a turbo camaro, and the best place around here to do it, is booked untill september 14th!!!! He cant wait that long to do tuning, and would even be willing to trailor the car somewhere to get a really good tune for it. What do you guys suggest that is within reasonable distance?

If you can't have MC's do it, the only places I know of are pretty far away...like ls1speed (Chicago area) and Exotic Performance Plus (Ft Wayne, IN).

Ask for Bob-owner or Brent-tech at exotic in fort wayne 260-483-9300. They will take care of you. they just got done with a twin turbo vette that put down good numbers. I would at least talk to them if anything.

www.ls1speed.com is definitely worth it, they have tuned a large number of FI cars and are excellent. Look at my trap speeds.

Dude, you can't go wrong with MC Racing, expecially since they are in town. I would recommend them over all others mentioned anyway....

You could also take it to Ed Wright in Tulsa (less than 4 hours from KC)....I know his mail order tunes can be iffy, but from what I've heard his dyno tunes are good.
