Default Tuners in IL

i just picked up a 98 T/A. it has a 85mm intake, 85MM TB, LID, k&n, (about to have headers and ORY) and the car has never been tuned. im wondering of a good shop in IL to tune for me. preferably around central IL or ST. Louis.

i will also be finishing up the nitrous install and still be using at least a 75 shot, but thinking a tad bit more. how do i go about tuning for that? i figure i will need to pull timing at least when i spray. is there something that i can use on the fly for when i spray?

thanks

Only one I know of that is real good is Speed Inc in Shaumburg, IL which is south of Chicago. If you find any others closer to this are let me know because I'm about 20 minutes away from Springfield, IL.

Speedinc is Waay North of Shitcago.

I'd recommend Straightline. Those guys always go above and beyond. They are 45min south of Shitcago in New Lenox. They are also a sponsor. Ask for Nick or Mike.

Modern Muscle in Oswego has customer service that is second to none (thanks to Brad). I will be bringing my car back to them in the future to get it re-tuned after I install my heads.

modern muscle knows their ****, I've been doing business with them for some years now and they will indeed take good care of you.

if you want something close and a great tuner go to Redline Motorsports in Bloomington Il, the owner of the shop/tuner name is Matt Bell he owns Zeibardt as well, he just tuned my procharged car but he has a lot of experience in boost, nitrous....you name it hes done it and hes a lot more cost friendly than the more popular nothern shops...not bashing any shop in chicago area Speed Inc, Straightline, FLP....all will get the job done but if you want something close and great bang for the buck def. go up there, he was the miwest chassis dyno in his shop...give him a call hes a hell of a guy!
Redline Motorsports-Matt Bell-309-275-1255
if your firmiliar with Burkhart chassis race car, Matt is the one who tuned it, that car I got to see in person....its nasty! id love to drive it.lol
