Wink Any Guys From The Midwest??

Looking for my local ls4 owners in my area. I'm in Illinois. I'm trying to find someone local to help my get my intake swap and tb done. Maybe even a ls7 maf. I'm no mechanic by any means so I want to find someone who might want to do the build. Dave and 91parkave are the two I've approach but they are a bit to far away lol..

Please help..

I'd attempt the swaps with my buddy who is a mechanic and do it step by step with the great write ups we have BUT... id rather have someone do it that has already done it.. hook me up!! Or I have to take yhe car to washington or arizona.. lol

I am 7+ hrs away, so that is likely too far as well.

ND here. Haven't done the swap yet either...couple more parts to get yet. I'm going a bit deeper though. Cam swap, headers, cat delete. Just need to find the time! Too many projects!

I'm near Joliet and would like to know how to do this some time. I have been manually tuning my car but this may be a little more advanced than i can do now. The Maf is something that would be great to fix.

I might be able to help you and I have more time than money at the moment, but I'm about 6 hours away.
