Illinois tuners!! Where are they? Any help? Hey guys so Iv got a 93 z28 I'm shopping around for some tuners in the Illinois area. I gave flp performance a call. He said he doesn't tune 93 models. I got some luck up in Wisconsin with west bend dyno and he quotes me at $1500 ball park. Is their any lt1 tuners left? I don't plan on swapping out my opti and going 24x or swapping out my harness/pcm for a 94 and up. Anyone know where these guys are hiding?

good luck with the search but your best bet will prob be a mail order tune. the 93 cars as im sure you know are quite the bastard of the lt1 family. being obd1 sd and the old eprom or "chip" its hard to find anyone who will mess with them. i had my car tuned by solomon @ lt1tuning.com i believe . nice guy seems knowledgable but i had alot of issues. if i were you i would send out some emails to moe bailey or ed wright both have been around a long time know there stuff and should be able to help you. what mods are done to the car? check moates.net they sell all the cables/connectors/software and you could tackle the tuning yourself if youd like to go that route.if its nothing crazy bolt ons fan temps gear/tire change i might have some old eproms with a couple different tunes loaded on them and im ditching my factory pcm so your welcome to have them even of its just to read the bin files and try to learn. good luck glad to see theres a few of us 93' guys sticking to the ol boat anchor platform...goodluck!

one more thing i wanted to add is DO NOT pay 1500 for a dyno tune thats insane and prob dont have the right setup to help you anyway. i would say the avg dyno tune would be 500-750 so that guy either has no idea what hes doing or clearly doesnt want to do the work. alot of these shops prey on guys like us so be mindful of that
